IIRC, with older netservers that have the onboard AIC78xx controllers as
EISA devices, there's some sort of conflict between slot "addresses" - the
default base PCI "address" is at slot 10, but the EISA controllers are in
that range and so get clobbered. Suggest searching the LINT file etc for
references.
I'm not sure that this problem causes what you're seeing though - the
onboard controllers just wouldn't be found during the probe as I recall.
