We know about this problem, fixed it in HEAD branch already, and the fix will 
be pulled into 6.1.2 and 6.2.

I guess the error was "panic: uvm_km_suballoc: unable to allocate space in 
parent map" ? That's typical message for problem mentioned above.

These lines should be something like:
p5membar0 at zbus0
Seems like first few pixels are missing?

Besides, these BARs are _huge_ for an Amiga. This certainly looks fishy.

This does not look right for a configuration you have described. Which version 
of G-REX firmware do you have? If possible I'd like to see more of that dmesg.

First please try to remove the broken Permedia card and report back.

Any Deneb related problems should be fixed in HEAD and 6.1.1.

As, suggested above, try to remove that Permedia and report back. 

Also, can I get a dump from AmigaOS PCI report tool? There surely is one for 
G-REX (don't remember its name now). With and without said Permedia board.
