It just grabs legacy IO ports and interrupts and doesn't wanna share them. Under some configurations, it used to cause two drivers to be attached to the same device triggering weird problems, which shouldn't happen anymore, but it still can prevent proper drivers from acquiring the resources. In your case, USB host controller was also assigned to the same IRQ and failed to initialize IRQ. It just can't play nice with modern devices and drivers. -- tejun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
