PCI: Failed to allocate resource 6(df000000-deffffff)

PCI: Failed to allocate resource 6(df000000-deffffff)

[Kothi Raja]

I'm getting these errors with kernel 2.4.22 while it's
trying to set up a PCI Sun QFE card. 
My hardware consists of:
MB: Rioworks SDVIA-100 (VIA Apollo Pro 694 + 686B)
Processor: Single P3 933
Memory: 256MB SDRAM.
Matrox Millenium PCI 4MB RAM.
Sun QFE PCI 4 Port Fast Ethernet.

I'm running a self-built kernel 2.4.22 compiled using
GCC 3.3.2.

The first ethernet port gets initialized correctly but
the subsequent ones report this error. When I try to 
ifconfig eth1 add 192.168.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0
I get:
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address

Here's the relevent portion of the system log.

Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?
I will post the complete system log and any other info
if required.

Thanks in advance,
Krishna.
