PCI: device not available (can't reserve [mem 0x00000000-0x0003ffff])

Hi,

I am facing a strange problem with a PCI express device. I have written a
simple PCI driver(pci_skel sample driver for LDD book) just to detect a PCI
device and read its vender and device id from its configuration space. When
I connect the device on a standard i386 based PC, it works fine, as
expected. But when I run the same driver on the MPC837xERDB board(powerpc
arch based processor from freescale), it gives me error. Below is the O/P on
both the architectures. Could anyone suggest what can be the cause of this
problem? I am new to linux device driver development.

i386 output.

[  921.097050] PCI driver: Init function

[  921.097462] PCI driver Device ID = e250
