Hi Hugh,

Thanks for the testing.  I don't have access to a G5 unfortunately.
Are you able to capture the good/bad console output and send it to me?
 A digital photo would be fine if you can't grab the raw text.  Add
#define DEBUG to the top of arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-common.c above the
#includes too if you don't mind.

I'm investigating on my end.  I suspect that I've messed up retrieval
of the hose pointer.

Thanks,
g.
