Hi,

I'm running FC4t3 as guest OS in a VMWare virtual machine. Kernel
2.6.11-1.1287_FC4 is the last kernel that was booting correctly for me,
the subsequent kernel updates (290 and 303) fail right away with this
error :

PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 4 of device 0000:00:07.1
audit(1116064003.996:0): initialized
Red Hat nash version 4.2.12 starting

switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!


Note the PCI warning occurs even when the kernel boots correctly.
Any ideas ? I'll try to poke one of my contacts at VMWare...
