Thanks for the hints on using pci=.  I got it to work.
I couldn't find where pci=bios was documented but that option didn't work.
 I read in the kernel docs in regards to booting and tried pci=conf1 and
this worked.  The machine is up and running and doing well under testing. 
I don't know what conf1 means but I be darned if it doesn't work :)

Do you know where this option is documented?
