Hi Peter, thanks for the info. We finally got around to messing with
this again. We did a couple things:
1) Set the 4i65 jumpers back to their default positions, that was
definitely part of the issue...
2) Updated BIOS
3) set jumpers on the motherboard relating to PCI/ISA bus configuration.
After doing so, the new 'lspci' output is
01:07.0 Bridge [0680]: PLX Technology, Inc. PCI9030 32-bit 33MHz PCI
<-> IOBus Bridge [10b5:9030]

We found that the EMC2.2.8 build that is in the normal package tree
was having problems loading the HAL kernel modules, kernel null
pointer de-reference errors. We cloned the git repo and went to
v2.3.4-pre and those issues went away...
We were able to get the sample 4i65 stepper configs working,
generating step/direction outputs and driving our 10amp stepper motor,
man that thing is noisy w/ micro stepping disabled! Anyway, were
continuing to refine the config and get all the details flushed out.
Thanks again for all your help, it's much appreciated!
Best Regards,
-Dave Camarillo
