always try the kernel option.. I think it was irq_poll? The option that probs the hardware directly for irq's. It also tells you how it is conneted, via A, B, C, or D. What do you think?
always try to run getpir first, and never trust the results until verified with at least one card .
Not sure what you mean. Run getpir with the original bios? As I told Uwe, this option is not possible. There was no possible way to run Linux with the original bios. Now that Linux is running on it is a real milestone.
Or
Could I just put a PCI card in it, coreboot it up, run getpir and see if the card is detected???
