The recompile with PCI enabled has the same error, except it shows as
'0x2590' and '0x2598' instead of the '0x2554' and '0x255c' from last time.
Repeated the same addresses twice...

Not quite sure where to go from here, although I may download the
'linux-latest.tar.gz' copy from CVS and see if perhaps I've got a bad
snippet of code someplace...
