Your BIOS is broken. You probably have 1GB of RAM which extends from
0x00000000 to 0x40000000. However, there's a hole in the ACPI map
between 0x3fefa000 and 0x3ff00000. This is where your Cardbus devices
are ending up:

Changing the bridge type to non-transparent just means that we find
we can't allocate the bridge resources in this small window, so they
get moved elsewhere.
