Title:
  SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use -> system
  failed to boot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am on Ubuntu12.04 Precise 64bit.

  This error occures the first time with a  fresh seted up dual boot
  solution with Ubuntu12.10 64bit , which provided the grub2 2.0
  bootloader which acting here.

  Scenario:

  First install Ubuntu12.04 Precise 64bit than install Ubuntu12.10
  Quantal 64bit to the same harddisk and use the grub2 2.0 bootloader
  from Quantal.

  
  -------------------------------------------

  On system start Ubuntu12.04 from grub2 2.0 bootloader menu the system was not able to start. 
  The console output during booting shows a "mmio adress is already in use". The Ubuntu12.04 system does not complete it's boot sequence and went back to grub2 2.0 bootmenu. A second try from there with the 12.04 system gave a successfull system start.

  An investigation in the kernel log of 12.04 shows:

  
  Sep 23 17:37:32 userHost12041 kernel: [    6.062901] SP5100 TCO timer: SP5100 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v0.01
  Sep 23 17:37:32 userHost12041 kernel: [    6.062970] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use

  
  --------------------------------------------

  Additional:

  A search on launchpad gives back

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/740011

  which also handeles boot problems with Natty. This one is marked as
  Fixed Released.

  --------------------------------------------

  Additional:

  Before setting up the dual boot solution  with Ubuntu12.10 Quantal
  64bit this error never occure on a pure 12.04 Precise 64bit solution.
