Installation Problem w/ Debian "lenny"

[olesan]

Greetings All:
Newbie Problem;

I have gone through the Disk 1 (amd64) install for "Lenny" twice now and end up with the same results.
At boot up I see this line after BOOTING THE KERNEL
[0.167705] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:00:00:0.
Boot continues on with login prompt still in boot screen.
I login, and we still are sitting in boot/terminal mode?

I am at a loss at this point after searching for help elsewhere.
Hardware: ASUS A8V mobo w/ agp video card and 500mB Ram AMD 64 cpu.

Thanks in advance! Hoping to Be Free sooner than later.

Did you install a desktop environment? The base install wouldn't include that. You are reaching a login prompt, which means installation is successful. What happens if you type exec startx?

Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, I did install a desktop environment.
I will try your suggestion (exec startx) when I get home tonight and reply on results.
I am new enough at this that I am unaware of what to try, so your reply is greatly welcome.
Thanks

I believe this means some piece of hardware isn't being recognized properly.

Post the output of

lspci -v

We should be able to find the device in the output and see if it's anything to trouble yourself with.
