ACPI: I/O resource dme1737 [0xa70-0xa71] conflicts with ACPI region RNTR [0xa00-0xa7f
 

1Hi guys :)
im using Debian squeeze on this machine : http://www.advantech.com/products/PC...5B4F6A1AA.aspx

this machine have a hardware watchdog that i want to use it on Debian. these are the output of some command that i think is useful to know:

root@dhcppc2:/home/p# acpi -V
No support for device type: power_supply
No support for device type: power_supply
Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 0
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 0

root@dhcppc2:/home/p# modprobe dme1737
FATAL: Error inserting dme1737 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/dme1737.ko): Device or resource busy

root@dhcppc2:/home/p# sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +45.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)


and here is the output of dmesg:
[ 403.388163] ACPI: I/O resource dme1737 [0xa70-0xa71] conflicts with ACPI region RNTR [0xa00-0xa7f]
[ 403.388175] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver

and when i uncomment this line of /etc/watchdog.conf the machine restarts!
#watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog

what's the solution of this problem?
thanks :)

If there isn't a later driver as suggested by the error message then adding kernel parameter acpi_enforce_resources=lax may workaround the problem.

where and how should i add this kernel parameter?

the mchine don't boot at all!;)

booted Debian with temporary kernel parameters but again have the same problem!

In grub2 it would be placed in /etc/default/grub within the quotes " " behind "quiet splash"
