Greg,
it seems that:
  arch/x86/pci/legacy.c :: pci_legacy_init()

tries to create already created "bridge" symlinks in 2.6.24. So we
discover the same devices twice? Can this be a reason for the hang?

I guess in 2.6.25, the warning is gone with:
  commit fd7d1ced29e5beb88c9068801da7a362606d8273

  PCI: make pci_bus a struct device

  This moves the pci_bus class device to be a real struct device and at
  the same time, place it in the device tree in the correct location.
  Note, the old "bridge" symlink is now gone.

Thanks,
Kay
