Hi i have just bought a hp dv5118tx laptop dual core processor and dual mobile and installed FC5 in it.
But earlier it showed some error like this
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:06:00.0
PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@d0000000 for 0000:01:00.0
and then i saw a guy with same problem on this forum and used acpi=off and then booted with it.It booted well.
Now i cannot get my wlan card be detected by FC5.
I saw that post with same problem that told to change some port includes but my port hex code is completely different to that.
I will give you that
inlcude port 0x100-0x3af, port 0x3c0-0x3d2, port 0x3d4-0x4ff
include port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
now what should i do.
also i have nvidia graphics GeForce 7400 Go how do i get it to work.
Display at this moment is bad

You could install ndiswrapper, however, with my Compaq (HP) laptop I took the easy road and installed DriverLoader from linuxant.com, this is free to try for 30 days and if it works ... pay the 20 for a perm license.

Not sure on the Nvidia card, but if they are like ATI, which I am sure they are, there should be a linux package available on their web.

Also for the WLAN there is an article here on "how to" for FC5.

hi dudee,
I too have the exact same model of the laptop; well i had wrtten 2 posts about it solution to wireless on FC5 u can look at that or else on unusual problems with ndiswrapper ...
u can also follow the steps from my blog @ http://chandanthewhiz.wordpress.com ...
let me know if u have any further problems ... by default fc5 doesnt recognise 3945abg wireless card u gotta load it ...

well regarding the ports just remove the 0x800-0x8ff from the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
regarding nvidia grafix it does by default recognise a generic nvidia driver so no neeed to load the drivers for it ... u can open /etc/X11/xorg.conf
there just paste the foloowing -
Section "Monitor"

### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:

now logout root and relogin it should be pretty fine ... u can even search for better settings for horizontal sync and vertical refresh...

hi garfield1228
i went through your blog and followed the steps that you written there but one question do i have to do the ndiswrapper thing or straight away follow the setting up wireless thing.I followed the steps in the setting up wireless in FC5 but few rpm wont install saying could not retrive package information those packages were
ieee80211-1.1.13-10.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
ieee80211-1.1.13-10.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
ipw3945-0.0.74-4.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp-0.0.74-4.rhfc5.at.i686.rpm
and due to this my wireless card not working at this moment

well some rpms are dependent on each other so install the dependencies and then these rpms , all that are req are given in the list of rpms ...
btw if u are following this way no need to use ndiswrapper ...
this is a better way ... ndiswrapper some hw is easy to do but giving lottsa trouble on this laptop ...
one personal qns ... whr from are u in india ...

ya i am from delhi india 4th year engg student.
i know packages are dependent i did that but some problem still two packages wont install
ipw3945-0.0.74-4.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp-0.0.74-4.rhfc5.at.i686.rpm
saying some dependency problem when i check those packages i have them installed this is what i got when i installed the

this is because u are using kernel version 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5smp and u are trying to install an rpm for kernel version 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp ...
so either u install the kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp and install above rpms or search for the above rpms for ur kernel 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5smp...
thts it tht wz where u went wrong ....
