       Till today I din'nt noticed that on laptops Dell E6500 we have
       the following warning with the new :

       kernel-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.x86_64

       Warning: pci_mmcfg_init marking 256MB space uncacheable. 

       The  solution is to add the folowing arg in the kernel call in
       grub.conf :

       acpi_mcfg_max_pci_bus_num=on

       HTH.
