Since we are looking elsewhere now... I have tried PCI access mode
BIOS and Direct with no improvement.
There is an unrecognized PCI bridge resource in the boot messages...

CPU: L2 cache: 256K
Intel machine check architecture supported.
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0.
CPU serial number disabled.
CPU: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping 06
Enabling fast FPU save and restore... done.
Enabling unmasked SIMD FPU exception support... done.
Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
