Rafael, this is a regression from 2.6.33, in case it's not on your
list yet.

Ozgur, thanks for attaching the logs.  There's some interesting stuff
there that I don't understand yet, such as this from the pci=nocrs dmesg:

  [    1.577758] pci 0000:00:1e.0: PCI bridge to [bus 03-04]
  [    1.583031] pci 0000:00:1e.0:   bridge window [io  0x5000-0x5fff]
  [    1.551889] pci 0000:03:01.0: CardBus bridge to [bus 04-07]
  [    1.557507] pci 0000:03:01.0:   bridge window [io  0x5000-0x50ff]
  [    1.603303] PCI: No. 2 try to assign unassigned res
  [    1.688208] pci 0000:03:01.0: CardBus bridge to [bus 04-07]
  [    1.693826] pci 0000:03:01.0:   bridge window [io  0x0000-0x00ff]

Apparently we moved that CardBus I/O window from [0x5000-0x5fff] to
[0x0-0xff].  I'm dubious about that because the upstream bridge at
00:1e.0 only positively decodes [0x5000-0x5fff] (though it *is* in
subtractive decode mode, so it will forward more).  I wish we had
a little more debug output about when & why we moved that window.

I'm especially dubious because your /proc/ioports with pci=nocrs
from comment 8 (which is the case that's supposed to be working)
contains this:

  5000-5fff : PCI Bus 0000:03
    0000-00ff : PCI CardBus 0000:04
    0000-00ff : PCI CardBus 0000:04

That looks completely broken in terms of the hierarchy.  It looks
like you have a USB device in the CardBus slot (ohci_hcd 0000:04:00.0).
Maybe the broken hierarchy doesn't cause problems with this device
because it doesn't use I/O ports.

Anyway, I'd like to see the entire dmesg log when booted *without*
pci=nocrs, because that's the case that fails.  Since the system doesn't
boot, you'll have to use a serial console or netconsole to collect the
whole thing.  The serial console log in comment 7 is corrupted; it looks
like all the lines got truncated to 80 columns or something.  And please
boot with "ignore_loglevel" so we see all the debug messages on the console.
Also, no need to tar up and compress your attachments -- I always figure
if bugzilla wants to compress stuff, it can do it internally without
bothering us.
