PCI resource conflicts

Hello,

I looked into the archives and found where several others have asked this
question, but I couldn't find where anyone had received a sufficient
solution. I am running a Debian 2.4 kernel with RTAI extensions on an IBM
405GP PowerPC. Initially, U-boot was failing to locate PCI devices behind
bridges other than the first bridge it finds. I believe that this is not an
issue at this time and that the Linux kernel reconfigures the PCI bus on
boot up. Now when booting Linux, I receive these messages when I plug
multiple PCI cards into the chassis.

Can anybody explain what is causing this or point me in the right direction?
I'm currently trying to follow through the PCI code, but I am new to Linux
and a hierachical PCI design so it is slow going.

Thanks!!
