xconfig is buggy sometimes. Try make oldconfig afterwards, it'll prompt for
anything which didn't get set by xconfig.
It's frankly hard at this point to buy that one of my PCI devices is
walking over the kernel. Or if it is, it looks like the end of the
Linux line for my PowerTowerPro with the 2940 card. I think this is
either a bug in the aic7xxx driver that has been exposed by 2.2.18
changes (highly doubtful, there are too many 2940s out there for it
to have been missed), or a linux-pmac bug. I just don't know enough
yet to prove it, much less find it.
Hmm. 2.2.18pre21 from linuxppc_2_2 bk works on my G4/Yikes! with a 2940UW
in it. What compiler are you using?

Yeah, that's why I don't see that my observations can be related to
this. I also tried make oldconfig and it lead to the same results.

dmesg:
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release/franzo) #1
rpm -qa |grep gcc:
gcc-2.95.2-1i
gcc-c++-2.95.2-1i
gcc-objc-2.95.2-1i
What I'm worried about mainly is the 6 slots and the PCI bridge
structure in the PowerTowerPro (akin to PowerMac 9500). It is more
"complex" than G4, no? From my previous discussion with you and
others, I gather that there are a lot of problems with the PCI stuff,
that may not be cleared up for quite a while?
