I managed to boot my 1.5.1 kernel yesterday. The solution was, 
to comment out the options:

#options    PCIBIOS             # PCI BIOS support
#options    PCIBIOSVERBOSE      # PCI BIOS verbose info
#options    PCIBIOS_ADDR_FIXUP  # fixup PCI I/O addresses

While the problem is solved for me now, I think there is 
still a problem to be addressed.

Shall I send-pr this?
If yes, where? (never done this before)

Regards
Chris
