Failed to get tcobase address

Asked by Christopher

I get the subject message on every boot in Natty. I have a Lenovo Z565 with an ATI Radeon HD 4200 sound card.

I have no idea what it might be affecting, as the sound seems to be normal. I've run an audio test and it seems OK. I don't want to report a bug, as it isn't 'bugging' anything except my curiosity.

Can you reboot, login and run:

dmesg > ~/t.txt; gedit ~/t.txt; rm ~/t.txt

What is output? (When you close the file, it will be deleted for tidiness)

Can you paste the output in the file. There is no limit to text here

After today's updates the boot message has changed, but flashes so quickly that I can't quite make it out. Something to do with tco, mmio and address.

I still can't figure out what, if anything it affects as I haven't noticed anything amiss since fglrx was fixed.

Fine but if you actually do as I instruct we can actually help...

I've tried 10 times to post the result of dmesg > ~/t.txt; gedit ~/t.txt; rm ~/t.txt but every time it has timed out.

ok then run:

sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; clear; dmesg | pastebinit

what is the URL generated? Are you running the desktop OS?

It will have to wait until later. I work in Maverick and test Natty in my free time, but I have a fair bit of work to do before I can play.

I'm running the classic desktop in Natty. Unity slows me down to much and reminds me of Windows 7 in that regard.

[ 12.105957] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xb8fe00 already in use

That's the message that flashes before continuing to boot. It also seems to be covered in Bug #740011.

Can you help with this problem?
