I am really growing to hate this machine...

hudson:~# cat /proc/pci
cat: /proc/pci: No such file or directory

/proc/bus/pci is there and contains two files (00 and 01), but they're binary
data.  The kernel is 2.2.12, which should support /proc/pci, IIRC.  (Yeah, I
know...  I really should be using a potato CD, but slink is all I had handy.)
