I also got the pcirouting messages on that motherboard.  I "fixed" it by
adding a few lines in pci.c to recognize the southbridge, which is a
VT8235, and do the generic VIA chipset initialization.  I wrote fixed
in quotation marks because the only observable effect was that the error
message disappeared.  David Hogan subsequently pointed out that recognizing
the southbridge is only important as a workaround for some buggy BIOSes,
so you can probably ignore it.
