I have an SGI O2 with an R5000 CPU, 1 SCSI CD-ROM, 2 SCSI disks, 128Mb
of RAM and a PCI ethernet card. I replaced the PCI card with this new
board, but it seems the board is listed but otherwise ignored. The only
trace is in lspci output. There isn't a list of devices in the other
side of this PCI-to-PCI chip.

# lspci
00:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7880U
00:02.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7880U
00:03.0 PCI Bridge: Netmos technology Unknown device 9250
(The card vendor and product are IDs 9710:9250.)

When I plug the card on an i386 machine, it is recognised since lspci
display the card and all three devices present on the same card (devices
accessible via the PCI-to-PCI bridge). All these devices are available
to udev, so udev start all relevant drivers.

I started checking my kernel config. Do I have to activate any specific
CONFIG_?? option in order to use such a card (beside the driver for all
devices).

Actually I have:

CONFIG_HW_HAS_PCI=y
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_MMU=y
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI is not set

while on i386 I have:

CONFIG_PCI=y
# CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_GOMMCONFIG is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_GODIRECT is not set
CONFIG_PCI_GOANY=y
CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y
CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=m
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE_POLL_EVENT_MODE is not set
CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_FAKE=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_COMPAQ=m
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_COMPAQ_NVRAM is not set
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_IBM=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI_ZT5550=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI_GENERIC=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC=m

I am using kernel 2.6.18 on both machines, as shipped with Debian
stable.

Thanks,
Giuseppe
