This is a common occurrence with stock 4.0.1 on multiple peer PCI bus
machines, ie DS20 and RAWHIDE, as the probing of multiple buses by the
X scanpci code tickles a kernel bug. So, you could hack X to not scan
multiple buses, or you could try fixing the kernel.
The latest 2.2.18-pre19 has the fix, but you could try applying to your
current sources:
In arch/alpha/kernel/core_tsunami.c, in mk_conf_addr():
replace:
if (!pci_probe_enabled)
with
if (!pci_probe_enabled || !hose->pci_config_space)
Note that this patch was NOT sufficient with 2.2.14 sources, as there
have been other (more extensive) updates that are also relied upon,
which I believe were all in 2.2.17.
Good luck.
