Dear all

I have nasty problem with my laptop. The Laptop is Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook series S. There is Windows XP installation on the disk under NTFS format.

I'd like to run Live Linux from CD (ubuntu, knoppix) but it is not possible to do that. It runs the disc awhile, but then it gives the error list:

[4294668.580000] PCI: BIOS BUG #81[494435924] found
[4294668.580000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c1
[4294668.580000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c1
.
.
etc.

And the last line of the error message is:

[4294668.637000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of bridge 0000:05:00.0

Please help me if you have some ideas to solve this issue.

Hmm.. this is strange.

Damn Small Linux works very well but Ubuntu, Mepis and Knoppix have problems.

they probably use different kernel versions.
