I think that you already know the answer here...

Almost certainly yes.  The chip did not complete one of the bus=20
transactions.  The master abort confirms this.

That would be my first guess.  But it also might not be completing a PCI=20
bus transaction correctly.  Or there might be a 32/64 bit address or=20
data transfer issue.=20
