It must only be certain models then... the ones we've had trouble with
were the P54NP4's (Neptune EISA/PCI). It isn't a BSD/OS problem,
these wouldn't even run the DOS diagnostics that come with the
EP2's. The I_LINE register in the second device is left programmed
...
They've probably corrected the problems in their newer boards (the
Neptune is at least a couple of years old).
Intel platos will not probe bridges correctly either, and isn't plato also
using neptune chipset? Chipset problem, or just too old bios?
