sorry if i write to wrong subforum

i have this problem:

HP 8540P has a motherboard resource preventing access to contiguous pci-e space

The problem like we discovered with a few other systems is that you have a unmovable Motherboard resource sitting right in the middle of your D0000000 range:
Code:

ACPI\PNP0C02\1
Name: Motherboard resources
Device has the following resources reserved:
MEM : fed1c000-fed1ffff
MEM : fed10000-fed13fff
MEM : fed1b000-fed1bfff
MEM : fed19000-fed19fff
MEM : d7600000-d7600fff
MEM : e0000000-efffffff
MEM : fed20000-fed3ffff
MEM : fed90000-fed93fff
MEM : fed45000-fed8ffff
MEM : fec00000-fec00fff

Meaning you cannot have a contiguous 32-bit 256MB pci-e config space block no matter what pci-e compaction is performed.

It might well be worth you logging a support case with HP on this issue as it effectively means the expresscard slot is limited to devices using a 128MB BAR or less. The HP bios programmer would just need to move that device to F7xxxxxx instead allowing the D0000000 range to then be 'compacted' into a 256MB contiguous space.
