Not even an error message. In case the pci core code assigns a io window to the pci root port it will log a message saying so.

I don't know for sure. From the boot logs it looks like the kernel simply assigns resources in pci scan order, and when it runs out of resources it stops assigning. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
