With 2.6.21 + the broken patches, yes. With 2.6.22-rc I got
a slightly different message which still said something about
a PCI mmap failure.

BTW, I have xorg-6.8.1 (Aurora 2.0 user-space), which might
explain why we see different behaviour.

I'm away from my ultra5 right now, but I should be able to do
this test on Monday next week.
