VIA EPIA MII 6000, pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power

Sorry for the lag. Resending a bounced message...

In both dmeg outputs:
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000

In your "reserved" boot dmesg:
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda1 ro reserve=0x0e000000,0x02000000
quiet splash

To the best of my knowledge, from this it seems like you're reserving
memory that is BIOS allocated to AGP (ie, you have no control over the
start point, but the end, or size, is dictated by a BIOS setting)

for both data sets:
lspci -> Region 0: [virtual] Memory at ea010000 (32-bit,
non-prefetchable) [size=ffff5000]
dmeg -> PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #0:10000 at ea010000 for 0000:02:00.0

This indicates that you need to have the following appended to your
kernel boot options:
reserve=0xea010000,0x10000
instead of:
reserve=0x0e000000,0x02000000

In reference to the AGP aperture mentioned earlier, if you change the
setting in BIOS, you will have to change the reserve postfix.
