First thing: upgrade to a 2.4 kernel; that really boosts performance on
PPC hardware. For your machine, a standard 2.4 kernel (kernel.org, for
instance) will do.

That's bad. Even without IRQ jumpering, it should be in /proc/pci. Sure
it isn't there? Can you send the output of 'lspci -vv'? Also, send along
the output of 'ls -l /proc/device-tree/bandit/'.

Doesn't make any difference on Macs; all the IRQ pins (4 per slot,
A...D) ar wired together on each slot.
