I tried the kernel options you suggested; the results are below. I didn't
mention this in my original post, but just for the record: I'm building the
kernel for UP with GCC v2.7.2.3.
"pci=bios" : When I try this option the system won't boot at all. It goes
through several cycles of this:
PCI: Discovered primary peer bus 01
.
.
PCI: Discovered primary peer bus 100
After this I get a kernel panic and the system is frozen:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 00000000
I don't have a log file of this output, but if nessessary I can copy the exact
text off the screen. Let me know if you need it.
"pci=conf1" : When booting I am shown a message:
PCI: No PCI bus detected
Attached is file: pci-conf1.dmesg. Running lspci only produced the message that
/proc/devices/pci wasn't found.
"pci=conf2" : Same behavior as with "pci=bios". No output files.
Please let me know if there are any other tests I can run.
Thank you.

Can you try "pci=bios", "pci=conf1" and "pci=conf2" options on the kernel
command line and send me kernel bootup messages and 'lspci -vvx' output
for all three cases?
Have a nice fortnight
