Have you verified that there are no new BIOS versions available for your
motherboard?  From what I can tell, when we write to registers over the
PCI bus, we are not getting the expected results.  This may mean that
the PCI chipset has a non-standard caching feature enabled that violates
the PCI spec.  I've seen this on some other VIA based boards.
