Messages Complain of Failure to Allocate I/O Resources
(CR 6984329)
Messages that complain about failures to allocate I/O resources might appear in POST, and in
log files.
For example, you might see:
Sep 8 15:50:49 nsg14-28 kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate I/O resource
#2:20@0 for 0000:8d:00.0
Sep 8 15:50:49 nsg14-28 kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate I/O resource
#2:20@0 for 0000:8d:00.1
Workaround
BIOS tries to allocate I/O resources. If it is unable to allocate I/O resources successfully, it
displays error messages.
