Address space collision (Was: Is this a bug?)

[Adam Tong]

Hi,

I found a link giving a workaround for this:
http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Error_message_on_boot:_Address_space_collision:_host_bridge_window_conflicts_with_Adaptor_ROM

There is no syslinux.cfg, i guess the equivalent one in fedora would be:
/etc/grub.conf

But as i am not sure where to add the string "pci=nocrs", I prefer ask for help and give you the content of my grub.conf:

----------
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
