I have an HP Pavilion 4450 (few years old), Celeron 366MHz, 192MB RAM.

I try booting and one of the first lines says "PCI: cannot allocate resource region 4 of 00:07.1".

Everything works fine after this (I have display problems, so I type "knoppix xmodule=vesa" at the boot prompt and it's fine), except the ethernet card isn't detected (and I assume the above error is related).

I try installing it, but it won't take. I'm not sure what to do from this point. Suggestions?
