Standard 2.4 PCI resource handling problems.  #define DEBUG in
arch/ppc/kernel/pci.c and show us your output.  The request_resource()
call is failing.

BAR2 (resource region 2) is the on chip RAM on LSI Logic's 53c8xx SCSI
chips, it's looking for an 8KB allocation in PCI memory space.  If it
doesn't get placed, then the 895 driver can't kick off the bus master
driven transfer to download the scripts into the 895's on-chip RAM.
