The difference seems to be in how the PCI bus gets mapped.
In the working, 2.6.26 based kernel, 'lspci -v' shows this:

The [two] big differences I see are that the video card (00:0d.0)
is being assigned 0xC0000000, which lspci marks as "virtual".
I think I've had trouble in the past with memory regions which
started at 0 relative to the PCI space. Also "virtual" concerns me.
Does this spark any ideas from anyone?
