server woes

[Christian Benito]

Well, that didn't work...

So, my pci bus is still being ignored. I'd try to glean
some wisdom from the kernel documentation, but
I can't seem to find it online, and when I installed
the kernel documentation on my desktop, I have no
idea where it put the files. Using 'find' in nautilus
is not getting me anywhere. Frustrating.

As usual, any suggestions would be appreciated.
