On a compaq proliant the PCI probe of the system finds no devices. Linux
doesnt work either, nor Novell Server stuff. Here is a explanation from
Compaq, does it make sense, and with this data point can any progress be made?
Thanks!
Compaq Deskpro machines that contain a PCI bus have protected mode 32 bit PCI
services located at the end address of memory (4 gigabytes). This memory
address is not usable by Novell Server software and similar software that
cannot manage non-contiguous blocks of extended memory. PCI drivers that do
direct calls to the PCI 32 bit address will not function in this environment.
