I do not know how to thank you... You saved my life. :-)
How did you guess this?

The same hardware is here, Mitac M722. :-) BTW what bios is installed
on your one?
Anyway, Windows with the _same_ bios manages to guess and to reserve
a few of ports tagged as some obscure "motherboard resources":
230-233, 398-399, 4d0-4d1, 1000-103f(!), 1400-140f(!) and 3810-381f.
yenta_socket eats ones marked with !. At least 1400 is really critical,
it is interface to SM mode. So, probably, more correct fix
is something sort of:
--- mitac-quirk.c
#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/version.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/ioport.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
static __init int mitac_init(void)
{
/* No guesses */
request_region(0x230, 4, "Mitac");
/* Hmm... look at 0x64 @ 0:7.3, 0x398 is set there, no doubts.
* What is this? */
request_region(0x398, 2, "Mitac");
/* 82440MX: ELCR 1&2, Edge/Level Control Regs */
request_region(0x4D0, 2, "82440MX INT CNTRL");
/* No guesses */
request_region(0x1000, 0x40, "Mitac");
/* SMBus: selected with bits 4:15 at 0x90 @ 0:7.3 */
request_region(0x1400, 0x10, "82440MX SMBus");
/* No guesses. */
request_region(0x3810, 0x10, "Mitac");
return 0;
}
module_init(mitac_init);
/*
* Local variables:
* compile-command: "gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -c mitac.c"
* End:
