Alternate solution:
I've seen other boards where certain PCI addresses cause hangs. If you want to have full kernel PCI support, you might want to make a patch that lets you skip bad PCI addresses. i.e. some new kernel parameters like "badpci=foo,foo,...". In this case "badpci=0xa8".
This might be useful in the future.

I've seen this problem, but ONLY on VIA north bridges derived from the 8601. Hence I still blame the chipset. So we can build a working EPIA at this point?
Basically yes. If you have the above problem, you probably need to change the kernel to skip the pci probe.
