Sounds like something is wrong with your hardware configuration.

No, this works fine for many other people, so don't get too worried.
Do verify that you have jumpered for 33Mhz operation since you
are using a 33Mhz device. PIBS should warn you about this and
advise to make the change, but maybe you have a different
version than I've seen. What rev. ocotea board and version of
PIBS do you have?

The code is self-documenting as they say. :) These are the address
ranges used by the pci_auto code to assign base addresses to each
BAR that is encountered.
