Hrm... annoying, I was sure it was fixed, I'll have to check. The bug
isn't actually in the ATI code, but in the PCI code. Well, maybe you are
hitting something else...

The bug I'm thinking about was fixed by git commit
6821eb3b64158ec230982f4db5f027b326edd620, here's the patch. Let me know
if it helps.

[PATCH] Fix PCI ROM mapping

This fixes a problem with pci_map_rom() which doesn't properly
update the ROM BAR value with the address thas allocated for it by the
PCI code. This problem, among other, breaks boot on Mac laptops.

It'ss a new version based on Linus latest one with better error
checking.
