Failed to reserve MMIO

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I just installed Leap 15.4, and I see a brief message during boot about MMIO. I found this in /var/log/messages/boot.msg, but I have no idea what it means or if it is a problem. So far, I haven’t noticed any problems other than that.

Happening on what hardware? Not here:

Based upon my reading of this, you may need to ask among kernel developers if you want to know about whether the sp5100-tco lines indicate a real problem. Google returned some developer hits that suggest to me it may be something newer than Leap’s kernel addresses. You might want to try a 6.0 kernel to see if it goes away.

May need to turn hardware MMIO off/on in BIOS (UEFI)

#6

This computer doesn’t have UEFI

Hi
I use to see it on one of my HP 255 G AMD powered laptops;

I blacklisted the offending i2c_piix4 module since it wasn’t even loaded…

On my current AMD powered HP Laptop, it’s all good with Leap;


dmesg | grep tco

    4.503957] sp5100_tco: SP5100/SB800 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver
    4.504155] sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Using 0xfeb00000 for watchdog MMIO address
    4.510880] sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: initialized. heartbeat=60 sec (nowayout=0)

lsmod | grep i2c

i2c_piix4              36864  0
i2c_scmi               20480  0

Anything related to watchdog in the system BIOS?

Nothing was there. I don’t have this message on my laptop, that has UEFI, maybe that’s why? Nothing on the desktop seems messed up so I will probably just ignore that.
