I have just installed gentoo on my ibook 12". It has dual boot with
yaboot. Sometimes it works fine but sometimes, without any reason it
starts as follows and stops:
> NET: Registered protocol family 16
> PCI: Probing PCI hardware
> PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:18.0
> PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0001:10:19.0

At this point it stops and nothing happens... then I need to turn the
machine off and then turn it on again. Today, in particular, I needed to
do this around 10 times before it worked ...
It doesn't seem to be hardware problem because macosx always works fine.
Maybe there is a problem with my yaboot.conf:
boot=/dev/hda2
device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:
partition=5
root=/dev/hda5
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
image=/boot/kernel-2.6.10
label=Linux
read-only
macosx=/dev/hda3
My current partition table is like that:
/dev/hda1 Apple_partittion_map
/dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap
/dev/hda3 Apple_HFS
/dev/hda4 swap
/dev/hda5 linux partition
Does anyone know what is the problem?
