HP specific PCI Host bus adapter called Dino (aka GSCtoPCI).
See hwdb.parisc-linux.org to know which systems used it.
Some systems have been fixed with a newer rev of the Dino chip.
You can:
o update the PDC and install a PCI card
o boot parisc-linux
o or look for -0004 on the IO board
to figure out if the PCI is usable or not.
Only HP PCI graphics cards are permitted to be used in PCI
when a broken DINO rev is in the system. PDC revs higher
than about 5.x will enforce this.
Read comments in drivers/gsc/dino.c for more details.
