I encountered this on a Compaq ProSignia 300. Are you perchance using an add-on PCI IDE hard-drive controller? If so, does the system detect a different amount of memory on boot depending on whether the card is in there or not? After tweaking the BIOS options for days, the only way I found to get around this inexplicable resource conflict was to ditch the IDE card and go with the built-in SCSI controller. I even searched the linux kernel mailing list for patches, no luck. -- Carl Patten
