Hi, I am running SuSE 7.1/PPC on my PowerBase 200 machine using the default 2.2.18 kernel, but encountered the following resource conflict when I wanted to activated my network card (Farallon PCI-10, DEC 21041 chipset) yesterday: As soon as the network card is activated, X still starts up, but immediately afterwards crashes the machine completely. This does not happen on the framebuffer console however. I suspect it is due to the resource conflict reported by XFree86 (see log/lspci output below): (WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0x400 e: 0x4ff correcting Is there a way to avoid this conflict? As far as I understood it, there actually is only one IO space on PowerPCs. Various MacOS versions managed to handle this conflict in exactly this configuration for more than 3 years now :-) What I tried so far, but did not help: - changing from the de4x5 driver to the tulip driver (SuSE 2.2.18 sources). - using the SuSE kernel 2.4.2: X refuses to start up immediately following the IO allocation warning. - upgrading to the latest SuSE kernel 2.4.12 or 2.4.16-3: It did not even boot, but froze after the line "Uniform CD-ROM driver ...". The LED light of my SCSI CD writer (Teac CD-R55S) just stayed on forever. Right now, I thus can either choose to use X or my ethernet card... Any help would be appreciated!
