Hi list, each time I start up my laptop (Debian testing, Linux 3.0 as provided in the repositories), the following error (warning?) appears: [ 5.083819] shpchp 0000:00:01.0: Cannot reserve MMIO region The system is working fine as far as I can tell. I observed that message for quite a while already, even back when I still used Kubuntu with the kernel version 2.6.38, then with 2.6.39 on Debian testing, and now with 3.0. I reported this downstream at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638863 where you can also find the full dmesg and lspci output, the loaded kernel modules, and so on. Jonathan replied with a quick analysis and saying that I should report this upstream on this list. Here's what he wrote: > The relevant code is in drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp_hpc.c: > > if (!request_mem_region(ctrl->mmio_base, ctrl->mmio_size, MY_NAME)) { > ctrl_err(ctrl, "Cannot reserve MMIO region\n"); > rc = -1; > goto abort; > } > > This comes after a message like > > shpchp 0000:00:01.0: HPC vendor_id 1022 device_id 9602 ss_vid 1022 ss_did > 9602 > > which means that a hotplug controller was detected.
