This section discusses techniques that can be used to detect resource conflicts.
The first technique involves dumping the arbiter data. The following example examines the arbiter data for the I/O ranges:
DEVNODE ff0daf48
Port Arbiter "RootPort" at 8045b920
Allocated ranges:
10 - 1f S Owner ff0d6b30
22 - 3f S Owner ff0d6b30
44 - 47 S Owner ff0d6b30
4c - 6f S Owner ff0d6b30
72 - 7f S Owner ff0d6b30
90 - 91 S Owner ff0d6b30
93 - 9f S Owner ff0d6b30
a2 - bf S Owner ff0d6b30
d0 - ef S Owner ff0d6b30
100 - 2f7 S Owner ff0d6b30
300 - cf7 S Owner ff0d6b30
d00 - ffff S Owner ff0d6b30
Possible allocation:
< none >
DEVNODE ff0d2e28 (PCI_HAL\PNP0A03\0)
Port Arbiter "PCI I/O Port (b=00)" at e122c2c8
Allocated ranges:
0 - f Owner 00000000
20 - 21 Owner 00000000
40 - 43 Owner 00000000
48 - 4b Owner 00000000
60 - 60 Owner ff0d4030
64 - 64 Owner ff0d4030
70 - 71 Owner 00000000
80 - 8f Owner 00000000
92 - 92 Owner 00000000
a0 - a1 Owner 00000000
c0 - cf Owner 00000000
f0 - ff Owner 00000000
170 - 177 Owner ff0cf030
1ce - 1cf S Owner ff040040
2f8 - 2ff Owner 00000000
376 - 376 Owner ff0cf030
378 - 37f Owner ff0d4e70
3b0 - 3bb S Owner ff040040
3c0 - 3cf S Owner ff0bb900
3c0 - 3df S Owner ff040040
3d4 - 3db S Owner ff0bb900
3de - 3df S Owner ff0bb900
3ec - 3ef Owner ff0d0b50 (This device conflicts with another device, see below)
3f2 - 3f5 Owner ff0d4770
3f7 - 3f7 S Owner ff0d4770
3f8 - 3ff Owner ff0d4af0
778 - 77b Owner ff0d4e70
cf8 - cff Owner 00000000
1000 - 10ff Owner ff0d1030
1400 - 140f Owner ff0d1d30
1410 - 141f Owner ff0d1890
10000 - ffffffffffffffff Owner 00000000
Possible allocation:
< none >
Note that there are two arbiters: one located in the root of the device tree, and one in PCI_HAL. Also note that the PCI arbiter claims and preallocates ranges for the devices it arbitrates (0xD000-0xFFFF, which is later suballocated by the PCI arbiter for its devices). The Owner field indicates the device object that owns the range. A value of zero for Owner indicates that the range is not on the bus. In the case of a PCI bridge, for example, all the ranges it does not pass will be assigned to NULL.
In the following example, the PCI bridge passes I/O 0xD000-0xDFFFF so its arbiter will contain the following two ranges:
E0000-FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Owner 00000000
The FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is because all arbitrated resources are treated as 64-bit ranges.
Examples:
Device object (ff0bb900) is for:

As shown in the example, this operation retrieved the legacy video card that owns the range 3c0-3cf. The same device object is listed near the other ranges it owns (3de-3df and 3d4-3dc). Using the same tracking technique, the range of 3f8-3ff is determined to be that used by the serial port.
A similar technique is required to translate the interrupts:
DEVNODE ff0daf48
Interrupt Arbiter "RootIRQ" at 8045bae0
Allocated ranges:
31 - 31 Owner ff0d4030
34 - 34 S Owner ff0d4af0
36 - 36 Owner ff0d4770
3b - 3b S Owner ff0d1030
3b - 3b S Owner ff0d1d30
3c - 3c Owner ff0d3c70
3f - 3f Owner ff0cf030
Possible allocation:
< none >
Note that there is a single arbiter for interrupts: the root arbiter.
For example, translate the interrupt 3F to an IRQ. First dump the device object, then the devnode:

First, make the assumption that this is an I/O conflict and dump the arbiters (see the preceding example). The result shows that the range 0x3EC-0x3EF is owned by 0xFF0D0B50, which overlaps the serial device's resources request. Next, dump the device object for the owner of this range, and then dump the devnode for the owner:
Device object (ff0d0b50) is for:

This is a "pseudo-devnode" that corresponds to the range allocated by the ISAPNP driver for its read data port.
To determine the resources that the PnP Manager assigned to a particular device when it attempted to start the device:
For example, for PCMCIA you can set a breakpoint on pcmcia!pcmciastartpccard. The advantage of using this particular routine is that its second parameter is a CM Resource List that you can dump using !cmreslist (eliminating step 3). See the following PCMCIA example.
