Please send all lines (or at least the numbers) starting with pcibus_setup or pcibus_check! These will help me understand, what is going wrong. Are you able to build a custom kernel ?

There are quite detailed rules for the behaviour of these devices, which are ignored by some major players in the PC market, though :( I can implement another wotkaround for your system, if I know its pcibus_setup probe messages ...
