Yeah, thats pretty much the 'way of PCI', so I was surprized
not to see the IRQ line assigned from the x86 host-side.

Oh, perhaps the comment was that you had used the board then :)

No sweat, if I want to put U-Boot on it, then I'll just have to
port it :)  Since the Artesyn bootloader can tftp etc, I'll
figure out first how to get Linux booted.

I just booted up the second board, and it did not get
an IRQ either. I'll dig into the CPC700 manual, its likely
a boot-time enable.

Thanks for the feedback!
