Having problem with a sever which has 18 PCI slots to run 18 PCMC IA cards

[Khamar, Kalpit K (Kalpit)]

Hi Dave, Rudy and All,
Forgot to mention earlier that if i will put only one PCI to PCMCIA adapter in PCI slot ( except slot 1st 2nd 9th and 10th ) still i am not able to see PCMCIA card. So if i use only one PCI to PCMCIA adapters or multiple adapters, only those 4 slots are working all the time. SO if it is resource issue then at least one card work on any PCI slot but that's not the case. Please advice me to fix or find this problem.
Thanks
Kalpit

I'd say it's a case of bad resource management, since all the bridge
windows seem to be consuming 2X their intended sizes, due to bad
alignment of the upper window bounds.  I don't know if that is the
fault of the kernel or the BIOS.
