no.  I suspect the bios is attempting to access some ports it's not
supposed to (probably debugging remnants for a logic analyzer by the
bios writers).  You need to explicitly allow the ranges the bios is
trying to access in the s3switch source.  Take a look at the savage
mailing list for more info:

there was a thread about this same issue and how to fix it a while back.
