VIDEO_IO_OFFSET seems to be Ok. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_BASE_ADDRESS is not
really needed, but ati_radeon_fb.c driver can't be compiled without
it currently.

Try to define CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS and CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS in
'include/configs/pcm030.h' as follows:

#define CONFIG_PCI_IO_BUS	0x00000000
#define CONFIG_PCI_IO_PHYS	0x50000000

Best regards,
Anatolij
