The peripheral board in our project is developed by Topex ( I work here ) and 
the CPU is Kontron cp303.
We already have the driver for our CPCI card and it works fine when we boot 
the system with inserted cards (resources allocated by bios at boot).  We 
tried to use cpcihp_generic driver from kernel 2.6.14 for Compact PCI 
controller and it works fine with some modifications in cpci_hotplug_core.c 
and in cpci_hotplug_pci.c but we have problems with resources allocation : 
first of all when we boot the system without cards, load the cpcihp_generic 
driver and insert the card we get the card but without any resources ( IRQ, 
Memory) . If we boot with inserted cards , load drivers , remove a card and 
hot plug it back.. we get the memory [disabled] and we get IRQ%5 ( not 
valid ) and we cannot change it 
to some IRQ 0..15 .
the log messages i got :
lspci -vvv after i boot with inserted cards : http://favorites.go.ro/lspci1

lspci -vvv after i boot with inserted cards, load the hotplug controller 
drivers, remove the card, and hot plug it back: http://favorites.go.ro/lspci2
dmesg  (i've added some printk_s in kernel sources for debug): 
http://favorites.go.ro/dmesg
dmesg  (without my debug messages): http://favorites.go.ro/dmesg1

our cpci card is 02:0e.0 Co-processor: Xilinx Corporation Unknown device 0400
on 01:0c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 21154 PCI-to-PCI Bridge (prog-if 00 
[Normal decode])
The CPU board is running now a Gentoo Linux 2005 (kernel 2.6.14)
