This is what I thought as I examined my own ckermit logs.  Memory looked
fine... no obvious errors spawned.  But errors when PCI was initiated.

(I was thinking the PCI errors were spawned due to memory init invisible

Feel free to post some experimental patches or send them to me directly
and I'll try on my similar S1832DL.
