The Compaq illegally implements the PCI 2.0 bus, and thus fails a
consitency check.
The -current code contains a relaxed consistency check which works
on this hardware.
The consistency check is also in the recent snapshots and in the
2.1 Alpha (release candidates) available for FTP download from
ftp.freebsd.org (Walnut Creek CDROM's box).
Update your install images or wait for the 2.1 rlease (real soon).
