I don't know if this can help you, but, I have a dual boot W98SE/linux.
and, in the linux logs, I have this curious message:
"Nov 26 16:24:27 kernel: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of
device 0000:00:08.0"

the device 8 is my vga card as described he

Bus 0, device 8, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB
[Mach64 GTB] (rev 154).
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=8.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x10000000 [0x10ffffff].
I/O at 0xde00 [0xdeff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xffeff000 [0xffefffff].

It would seem that my processor is not able to access directly to the
video RAM... but, i'm not sure of this.
what do you think of this issue ?

thanks

also is that a VIA based mainboard? miniport driver for irq steering may
not be loaded. ACPI
set to?

I ran PCITEST downloaed from http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/, and, I get
the following message:

"ROM PCI IRQ routing table Windows 9x Compatibility Tests....

Does anyone have an idea about it ?

Thanks for you help
