Alan,
Thanks to your help the problem is solved.
The answer, found after trying many purmutations, is to use the kernel
parameter
pci=noacpi
I am not quite sure why it works, but it does.
Thanks again. Looking forward to the complete install this weekend.

The kernel tries several ways to get this information. It should always
make the right decision but you can use
pci=conf1
pci=conf2
pci=bios
The following might be relevant if there is a weird bug but should not
matter
pci=nommconf
pci=noacpi
pci=lastbus=254
