Maybe pulling FireGL X1 will help:

Already done Dave: same error message during system boot. Just to be
clear, the error message is also indipendent by the PCI slot position.
Thanks for the hint, anyway.
Just one further thought regarding FireGL X1. The OLS article by Grant
referenced in the above
link indicated that a common problem in porting drivers to parisc was
timing issues with I/O writes.
This was fixed in a couple of drivers by doing a read after doing a
write. Possibly, the radeon driver
could be hacked to always read after write as a test.
I also read somewhere ia64 linux using zx1 chipset did work at one
time. This link gives some history
on ia64 and might give some hints about other things to try:

My conclusion is that the "vanilla-PC" ATI RADEON 9200 128M PCI is not
"BIOS compatible" with the c8000.
Agreed. There's no way to change the c8000 BIOS. I'd hoped that
removing the X1 might free up
I/O space and allow 9200 to work.
