Booting Linux : error after LILO
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to set up Mandrake9 or 10.1 on an Optiplex GX260. Well, works not that bad for a newbie!
Something is disturbing : after LILO, I always have an "non fatal" error saying:
PCI: Device 00:1F.1 Not available because of resource collision
It doesn't freeze, the launching goes on quite immediately, the boot goes on, login is OK,I have sound, video and so on. I cannot find which device is unavailable.
Does anyone know or is there a way to find out what this is? Maybe there's already a post about it?
Does it come from the BIOS?
Thanks.
Richard.

For this issue, I haven't found any installation switch to see what was happening. But I went inside the control panel, device manager and found it in the details :
(E)IDE/ATA Storage Controller 82801BD 845 G/GL Chipset IDE Controller
position 0:1f:1
module : unknownI've seen a post mentioning a kind of patch you can apply for some disks and/or IDE drive issues but unfortunately thought it wasn't for me, so I didn't note the site's address of the stuff. It looked like "i810" or "i748" (or "e780"?).Has anyone ever heard of it?
Should I modify any configuration? (remember the first message at boot "..unavailable because of resource collision")Thanks for any idea.Richard.206

unfortunately, the proprietory bioses never have enough switches, but your OS knows better;It indicates a conflict (or resource colision) on your primary chanel at 1Fh slave device most likely caused by a read timeout..What you want, is to determine which is what (fast or slow, harddrive or CDrom) and see, if there is a way, to insert\remove a waitstate, change the boot-order in the SETUP, re check your jumpers and cable conections, put each device on it's own chanel or even replace some components.You are doing great for a novice and I'm confident that you shall figure it out.Regarding patches for "some disks", I thought it was for the large buffer large drives that take too long to finish before the OS shuts down. Your problem indicates ADE/ATAPI too slow to start rather, even just trying to boot from a CDrom trying to install the Mandrake!
