     I just got an ASUS P55T2P4, and it works great, despite my getting
identical messages at bootup (this is with 2.1R):

pci0:0: Intel Corporation, device=0x1250, class=bridge (host) [no driver assigned]
pci0:7: Intel Corporation, device=0x7000, class=bridge (isa) [no driver assigned]

I'm using a DTC 3130B PCI SCSI controller (Symbios/NCR 815-based), which
uses interrupts (int a/irq 11), and it's performing wonderfully.  Even
with a lowly Quantum Fireball 1280S, bonnie gives (the following has
been edited for clarity):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash$ time bonnie -s 256
File './Bonnie.251', size: 268435456
              -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--

      537.92 real        81.89 user        62.83 sys

(I used a file size of 256MB because this system has 64MB RAM.)  Also,
these numbers are probably a tad low, because the test file was located
on the inner tracks on the drive.
