You'll have to update the PCI scan code to get that to work.  It obviously has
one of the new ServerWorks chipsets in it, since the older models are well
supported in 2.2.18.  In order to make yours work, there has to be a new entry
added for your chipset in the arch/i386/bios32.c file.  You can try just
adding your new DEVICE_ID number for your chipset into the table
dev_ex_table[] in that file by copying one of the existing server works
entries and see if that solves your problem (it likely will, I don't think
they changed the address of the bus number registers, they likely just added a
new device ID that isn't in the table yet to support some more advanced
features).
