PCI Device problem - maybe

[Merv Curley]

I don't know the search terms to use so maybe someone here has the answer.

A older computer here has been operating quite well, GigaByte MB and an Athlon 
900 Mhz CPU and a few days ago I decided to install a new O.S. to the H.D.

Well there seems to be no way this is going to happen.  Commercial DVD's and 
home made CD's all fail at some point during the install to HD. Distro's that 
start as a Live system all do that ok  but then fail during the install. 
Commercial DVD's which have been fine, SuSE 10.2, FC-6, Mepis 6, Ubuntu 6.10 
all fail. My CD .iso's which have worked, fail here.  The install gets to  
10% and up to 40% before it quits

The only clue so far is from Debian systems [ Kubuntu and Kanotix ] which 
report this error but start the installation.  

PCI :  Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:0c.0
                                    ditto                               2
       and regions 3, 4, 5

I have replaced the  Hard drive and the DVD reader without changing what 
happens.  The old H.D. and CD Burner are disconnected.  I realize this is 
sketchy info, but I don't want to make this longer unless someone thinks they 
can help.  I have no idea what that Device is or if it is a problem.
