Ah, that wasn't clear from the original email - I was making the changes incrementally and testing as I went.

Yes, that bit was obvious after a bit of thought. I suspect the original value was just a cut 'n paste error.

That seems sensible.

However, after changing both __io() and pcibios_min_io as Arnd suggested the boot still hangs after " Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."

I did notice that there seems to have been some code changes and refactoring in the pci sub-system between 3.1 and 2.6.38 where I was testing before. Are there any significant changes I should be aware of?
