Trouble with PCI cards on an Ultra 5
Hi all,
I'm using an ultra 5 under Debian linux (2.6.8) and compile my own
kernels using a recent gcc (3.3.5 at the moment).
The machine is equipped with two PCI-cards: a symbios53c8xx SCSI and a
multiport USB/Firewire (VIA chipsets) controller.
Both cards are known to be supported by (i86) linux, the SCSI controller
is even supported under Solaris.
Running 'lspci -vv' these cards show up only with the bridge name like:

Does that already mean that the cards are not recognized correctly and
cannot be used by the respective driver ?
I've got problems in configuring these cards and would therefore debug
that problem.
Any other hints are welcome.
