Looking at config of machine from another person (show conf in SRM):
Firmware
SRM Console: X3.9-1387
ARC Console: 4.1-22
PALcode: VMS PALcode X5.48-87, OSF PALcode X1.35-57
Serial Rom: 1.3
Diag Rom: V1.1

Processor
DECchip (tm) 21064A-6 233Mhz 512KB Cache

MEMORY
64 Meg of System Memory
Bank 0 = 64 Mbytes(32 MB Per Simm) Starting at 0x0
Bank 1 = No Memory Detected
Bank 2 = No Memory Detected

PCI Bus
Bus 00 Slot 06: NCR 810 Scsi Controller
pka0.7.0.6.0 SCSI Bus ID 7
dka0.0.0.6.0 RZ26L
dka500.5.0.6.0 RRD43

I guess the error message you gave is for device 0000:00:06.0 that 
happens to be scsi controller. :(
I can not say to for sure what cause this message, could it be resolved 
(let say by module options or removing by cards from PCI).
May be others have some advice (Jay? :) ).

Have you ran RH7.2 on it? This info was given by linux running on my 
machine.
