Don't do that then :)

I can't reproduce this, but I only have a 1106:3043 (DFE-530TX revA1) and
tested this on a rather old P133.

I tested 2.2.19pre and not 2.2.18+becker1.08, the biggest difference is
the detection code so maybe that could be worth trying. 2.4 is again a
little bit different ...

You could try playing with bios settings. And dumping register contents
from a working and non-working setup, for example:

% via-diag -aaeemm
  (ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/via-diag.c)

% lspci -vvxxx -d 1106:3065

Maybe CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS helps?
