You mean like:

> PNP0A03 [PCI Bus] at acpi0 not configured

?

The kernel is using those, but it's assuming that that they're all at
the normal PC I/O addresses rather than using the ACPI configuration
information. Which works fine as long as the ACPI info is just
describing a normal setup ("legacy free" .... with an AT interrupt
controller? HA!) rather than putting the normal PC things at unusual
addresses.
