If it is in MEM space, it probably means that your IO space is not setup right. You need to use substractive decoding to translate PCI IO address when you memory-map PCI IO space. Which board/controller chip are you using? If you use pci_auto to assign PCI resource, you should be able to see the IO/MEM resources assigned to those cards. They are very useful for probing the problem. Jun
