Martin,
I have tried 2.3.20 on two of my boxes (P133 desktop,
and a P120 laptop), and both crash with the BIOS access mode and
work with direct access mode. Here are the messages from the laptop
(#define DEBUG 1 in pci-i386.h):
[...]
PCI: BIOS probe returned s=00 hw=01 ver=02.10 l=15
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfe73c
PCI: Using configuration type 1

PCI: Scanning for ghost devices on bus 0
PCI: Fetching IRQ routing table...
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000f9ce
printing eip:

...
Hope this helps, more info available on request
