PCI: System does not support PCI

All,

I'm posting this in hope that someone can explain the problem I am seeing, or corroborate my story. I'm not subscribed to this list so please CC me on any replies. I've moved my old hard-disk with a 2.4 kernel to a new computer and tried to boot it up. I get a strange message when I do that:

PCI: System does not support PCI

I don't have a /proc/pci file after boot-up either.

The new computer is an Athlon based Shuttle FS40 motherboard which, of course, has a PCI bus. So what would cause the kernel to think that this board doesn't support PCI? I've fooled with a few different kernels that all give this error, but mostly I'm trying to boot my stock Debian 2.4.18 kernel. Has anybody else seen this problem?

Thanks,
Jim

James,

Try adding pci=bios to the boot options and see if it helps
