No, it probably means that you have an unknown PCI device (probably
a bridge chip) and that the Linux PCI routines (which the driver
uses to access the controllers IO space) can't properly access
the IO space. I think there is a linux-pci mailing list, so
perhaps your best bet would be to try there. Please look at
your boot-up messages and look for an unknown PCI device and
make sure you supply this when you ask the PCI gurus.
