I found some mention of this in messages from this list, but not a
complete patch. I changed ppc_icache_flush to only flush one cache line
(removed the add 32 to r3; repeat flush stuff) and applied the patch to
the loader I found on the list. That results in no more sig4 or sig11
during module loads but I still get the Lombard to lock up during real
server startup. The screen base and size used to map the video memory is
OK (i.e. taken from the kernel atyfb driver, right aperture and all) but
it hangs after that. I'll keep digging.

Try the fbdev driver with the BusID. (Mach is only minimally accelerated ATM
anyway)

Adding the BusID results in the PCI warnings, no change otherwise. The
server never uses fb_open_pci anyways.

  Without the BusID line the XServer will disable the pci memory/io
for the card, it doesn't matter if fbdev_open_pci is used or not.
What probably happens is that even with the BusID defined the xserver
still disables your card.
The PCI warnings that you get most likely will tell us where the problem
is, can you send the logfile over ?
