"pci BAR 3: " messages on boot

[Joel Wagler]

The package in question is linux-source-2.6.31

The following lines appear at startup instead of the xsplash screen. I expected to see the xsplash with the Ubuntu logo however I saw the following messages instead.

I think the duplicate is wrong. No were in the duplicate do I see the following messages. I think these messages are why the boot screen doesn't work.

This is not a duplicate of bug 438335.

This bug is caused by something wrong with the BARs of 00:0b.0:

  pci 0000:00:0b.0: BAR 1: error updating (0x001001 != 0x000001)
  pci 0000:00:0b.0: BAR 4: error updating (0x40000004 != 0x36850264)
  pci 0000:00:0b.0: BAR 4: error updating (high 0x000000 != 0x000020)
  pci 0000:00:0b.0: BAR 3: error updating (0x001401 != 0x000009)

This report is from a very old kernel, and the dmesg log doesn't contain quite enough information to tell exactly what's wrong. If this is still a problem, and somebody can collect a dmesg log from a current kernel, I'll take a look at it.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Closing this bug with Won't fix as this kernel / release is no longer supported.
Please feel free to open a new bug report if you're still experiencing this on a newer release (Bionic 18.04.3 / Disco 19.04)
Thanks!
