Which version?
Poul, is it possible to get 4.x boot output?

Sorry - I was wrong - the bridged card is at the primary bus and
already probed fine.
But there is a pci1 bus somewehere that doesn't show up by itself
in the log.
We have pci0 as the primary bus and the bus behind the bridge gets
named pci2.
Looks like the machine check is while probing pci1.

I've checked the hardware notes and an AS1000A has 7 PCI and 2 EISA
slots - so we physically have pci1.
The bridge is on an add-on card, right?

Other point - acording to the hardware notes an AS1000A can only be
EV4 or EV5, however this box probes as EV56 and also the chipset
is probed with BWEN.
