Perhaps this is the best solution. I'm curious what can be made of the PNP resource list we get from the BIOS at boot time... It lists motherboard resources too, we could probably end up with a fairly complete map of known resources to avoid. dmesg from boot -v: bios32: Found BIOS32 Service Directory header at 0xc00fd9e0 bios32: Entry = 0xfd9f0 (c00fd9f0) Rev = 0 Len = 1 pcibios: PCI BIOS entry at 0xda11 pnpbios: Found PnP BIOS data at 0xc00fa020 pnpbios: Entry = f0000:a120 Rev = 1.0 pnpbios: 36624 devices, largest 247 bytes pnpbios: handle 0 device ID PNP0000 (0000d041) pnpbios: handle 1 device ID PNP0201 (0102d041) pnpbios: handle 2 device ID PNP0100 (0001d041) pnpbios: handle 3 device ID PNP0b00 (000bd041) pnpbios: handle 4 device ID PNP0800 (0008d041) pnpbios: handle 5 device ID PNP0c04 (040cd041) pnpbios: handle 6 device ID PNP0303 (0303d041) pnpbios: handle 7 device ID PNP0f13 (130fd041) pnpbios: handle 8 device ID PNP0c01 (010cd041) pnpbios: handle 9 device ID PNP0a03 (030ad041) pnpbios: handle 10 device ID PNP0700 (0007d041) pnpbios: handle 11 device ID PNP0401 (0104d041) pnpbios: handle 12 device ID PNP0501 (0105d041) pnpbios: handle 13 device ID PNP0501 (0105d041) pnpbios: handle 14 device ID PNP0c02 (020cd041) pnpbios: handle 15 device ID PNP0c02 (020cd041) Other BIOS signatures found: ACPI: 00000000 disk1s1a:> pnpscan -v Probing PnP BIOS...
