Of the southbridge, I can modprobe ehci, uhci and the ide controller (although none of them work fully, they just don't panic), the ac97 audio and the nic panic. I decided to focus on the ac97 first because the nic is behind a PCI bridge and I wasn't sure if the crash was due ot the nic or the bridge. However, it is very likely that these panic for similar reason. At the bottom of my email I'll paste the kernel panic from modprobing and I'll attach the output from linuxbios and the kernel. I haven't tried to modprobe the ac97 modem and in the end I'll probably disable this device.
I'll investigate that address range, thanks for the tip. I tried to get information from this output of the panic, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was trying to tell me. This makes a bit more sense now that you point to this section. Are you saying add printk's to the kernel or to linuxbios? I assume you mean lb.
