That normally means it cannot find the FPGA card
most often this is a PCI contact issue

Check with lspci -vn | grep 5125

( should print something with 2718:5125 )

occasionally its because of a marginal 3.3V ATX PS
( symptoms of this are the red lights on 5I25 staying on or blinking any time 
other than power up)
