We really should try to make them work :) Now, what can you do: There is a problem with your PCI chip set, which does respond as if it used config mode 2 PCI setup conventions, but then does not respond to any actual access. You want be able to access any PCI peripheral using the boot floppy, sorry. What chip set is that ? Do you have access to some other controller or drive, just for a minimum installation ? You'll need to build a custom kernel, first, which forces config mode 1 probes, even though the chip set did not respond to some config mode 1 specific checks ... Sorry for the inconvenience! But this seems to be another PCI chip set that doesn't care for the PCI specs at all.
