You are in resource hell.

In a PReP map, 0xfffc0000 isn't a legal PCI base address since
it lies in PCI's system memory space (0x80000000-0xffffffff).
I seem to remember a bug in the ppc resource pci_mem_offset
handling that applied pci_mem_offset twice in some cases.
It is fixed at least in the 2_4_devel tree.  You can confirm
this by reading the contents of the BAR corresponding to that
last fixup directly.  I'll bet that it is 0x3ffc0000, PPCBUG's
autoconfiguration code is real good so I highly doubt that it
assigned 0xfffc0000 to a memory BAR.

#define DEBUG in drivers/pci/pci.c and arch/ppc/kernel/pci.c and
repost your results.

By SPAN card do you mean a PMCSPAN?  Which 2.4.3 are you using?  kernel.org,
linuxppc_2_4, linuxppc_2_4_devel?
