It probably needs to go in the GRUB configuration file. On Debian this is

/boot/grub/menu.lst

If Ubuntu has a line which begines

# kopt=

then you can append "pci=conf1" to the end of that line.

Otherwise you could try adding it to the "kernel" line of one of the boot 
options near the bottom of the file. E.g.:


title      Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.21-1-686
root       (hd0,0)
kernel     /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=791 pci=conf1
initrd     /boot/initrd.img-2.6.21-1-686

Cheers,
Richard
