4.5-RELEASE, options PNPBIOS, error messages on boot unknown: <PNP0..> cant assign resources repeated several times

hi;

i have an hp800ct laptop. it has pnp hardware in it, but when it boots, it 
emits a bunch of

unknown: <PNP0X> can't assign resources

where X = c01,c02,000,303,f13,700,600,401,501

now, i had originally noticed that i had an ESS card that also showed up 
in this list. but when i commented out an existing kernel config entry for 
sbc then the <PNPESS..> error stopped appearing and the card attached to 
sbc all by itself and actually *found* things that it hadnt been showing 
in the sbc line when i had compiled it in by hand.

so, i poked around on the net and found out that these numbers where 
different things on the computer like the printer port, irda port, ps2 
mouse and what not.

does this mean that i should comment these items out of my kernel config
because the pnp probe will find them with out them being compiled in?

tnx!
