Actually, looking a bit closer, I think the PCI merge we just looked at
was the PCI merge that happened _after_ 2.6.10-rc1. And since 2.6.10-rc1
already oopsed for you, it shouldn't be an issue.

I think the _real_ PCI merge we should have looked at is:

ChangeSet@xxxxxxxxxx, 2004-10-19 16:59:19-07:00, torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Merge PCI updates

and in particular, that merged the PCI changes from

ChangeSet@xxxxxxxxxxx, 2004-10-19 14:48:04-07:00, greg@xxxxxxxxx
PCI: fix up pci_save/restore_state in via-agp due to api change.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx>

with my pre-PCI-merge tree at:

ChangeSet@xxxxxxxxxx, 2004-10-19 15:06:19-07:00, torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Merge bk://bart.bkbits.net/ide-2.6
into ppc970.osdl.org:/home/torvalds/v2.6/linux

(all of these revision numbers are relative to a pristine 2.6.10-rc1
tree: remember that they change with merges, so they may not be the same
in your tree. "bk changes -a" is your friend).

So what I'd like you to do is to take the pre-PCI-merge tree, and see if
that works for you

# assuming a 2.6.10-rc1 tree
bk undo -a1.2000.1.6

and if that works, then try the post-PCI-merge tree:

# assuming a 2.6.10-rc1 tree
bk undo -a1.2000.1.7

(I just checked: the above numbers are actually valid even in the current
-bk tree, so you don't have to first go to 2.6.10-rc1, you can just start
from a current tree)

Thanks for testing, and sorry for the confusion with the more recent PCI
merge.
