Previous experience with Acer notebooks indicates that they aren't
always the easiest to work with. The last one I had my head inside had
an Omega Micro PCIC. Omega are now owned by Trident, but there didn't
appear to be any documentation available on the part in question.

This looks promising.

Are you in a position to add/enable extra debugging in the pcic support
code?

OK, so it looks something like a "normal" pcic.

It looks like there's nothing there; either the CIS reading technique
isn't working, or the pcic in question isn't compatible. Is this
system a mixed pcic/CardBus system? If so, which mode is it in?

That's a bit weirder, but still basically means that it's not reading
the CIS in any useful fashion...
