PCI: unable to allocate mem resource for PCMCIA bridge

Hi all,

I recently compiled kernel 2.6.13-rc3, and CardBus
appears to work when I start up (an inserted CardBus
card shows up properly in lspci.) However, on bootup I
see two lines saying "PCI: Failed to allocate mem
resource <some address> for <pcmcia bridge pci
number>". I suspect that this may be the cause of the
problems I am having with the drivers for my wireless
CardBus card.

On kernel 2.6.12-rc2, the same thing happens except
that after the two "Failed to allocate mem resource"
lines, it gives two errors saying that the PCMCIA
bridge is unavailable due to resource collisions.

I am running this on a x86_64 platform. If you need
any more information, I will gladly provide it.

-Chris
