Thanks for doing the bsearch - it helps.

There were no driver changes between 2.6.11-rc4 and 2.6.11-rc5.

The only PCI change I see is

--- drivers/pci/pci.c   22 Jan 2005 03:20:37 -0000      1.71
+++ drivers/pci/pci.c   24 Feb 2005 18:02:37 -0000      1.72

and you're not getting that message (are you?)

Nothing much in arch/i386..

There were some ACPI changes, which is always a worry ;) Does that machine
run OK without ACPI support?  If so, could you determine whether disabling
ACPI fixes things up?
