I"m not sure what's causing this.  When you get the machine installed,
please send the output from a verbose boot (hit the space bar at the 
boot loaders 9..8..7... countdown and type boot -v)

The most likely scenario is that the firmware has lied about the
memory behind the 21x52 pci-pci bridge or set something up a little
bit not to our liking.  From the dmesg you sent, things look OK, but
we cannot see what memory ranges the bridge is passing from that.
