Isn't there a way to use the 4-port NIC and the VGA from Linux even
without SRM being able to init those devices?
I know that on x86, Linux can do the PCI (topology/interrupt) setup
itself if the BIOS neglects this. And XFree86 or fbdev may be able to
setup your VGA card from scratch.
I suppose the real question is whether the pci= kernel option is still
only supported on Intel?
Cheers,
Emile.
