From speaking with the great guys at Xig, the reason is a bug in
the pci code of the new gcc (2.8.x). You'll need to grab just the ioprt.c
file from a 2.1.x kernel and replace the one in the 2.0.x tree
--> /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/ioport.c <--
I don't know why gnu has yet to fix this bug.
HTH
p.s. If you don't want to d/l the entire src, or don't know of anyone who
has it - I'll put it on my ftp site
(ftp.the-site.dyn.ml.org/pub/Linux/gcc/ioport.c).
