No video or console with 2.4.10 on Tanzania

From: harry eaton <hidden>

I'm trying to upgrade to a 2.4.x based kernel, but it's not working.
Everything appears to stop after "arch: exit" is displayed, but
in fact the whole booting process continues fine, except nothing
is ever sent again to the screen. The log file reveals:
...
Fixups for bus 01
Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent
...
PCI:00:11.0:Resource 0: 81000000-81ffffff (f=3D200)
PCI:Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 00:11.0
...
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0 (8000-7ffffff) for 00:11.0

plus other similar message about devices 00:10.0 and 00:0e.0

I've tried Benh's latest from ppckernel.org, also the bitkeeper 2.4 =
stable,
plus a few others, even rolling my own minimal kernel from the 2.4.10
source tree in the latest YDL distribution. They all do the same thing.

This is on my Starmax 4160 (Tanzania) system. I use the built-in video
(ATI 264 vt) and it all works great with 2.2 kernels.

Ideas?

TIA, harry

Please, send me the complete boot log under both 2.2 and 2.4, and the
result of lspci -vv (run as root) on both kernels.

Ben.
