During boot of gentoo-basic-1.4-20030806.iso on Model Acer Aspire 1304LC,
I see an unexpected first log message  

PCI cannot allocate ressource region 0 of device 00:0a.a

The resulting system hang on as soon as I made any kind of network access. 
Especially when i request the network card status with ifconfig.

I resolve the problem by :

- booting with : gentoo nohotplug
- loading manually my NIC adapater : modprobe via-rhine

I suppose both problem were related. At least they appear on a specific 
laptop system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use a Acer / Aspire 1304LC
2.boot with gentoo or acpi without nohotplug 
3.no specific modprobe applied

Actual Results:  
First on screen log line :

PCI cannot allocate ressource region 0 of device 00:0a.a

Expected Results:  
- no message 
- via-rhine network card not discovered

I found no information about log location with Basic boot CD

I m not yet fluent enough to regenerate a Basic but I m interested in
testing the resolution of this problem.

I haven't test the LiveCD.

Should be fixed on the newer livecds, please reopen if it isnt.
