  The OS that it worked on was 10,04 LTS and the system is old enough to
an AMD XP1500+ CPU, the current systems has a 64bitDual core AMD CPU on
an MSI7596 V1.2.  I'll definitely get the latest image and boot to see
what lspci gives.
  I thought it might have been the motherboard nutting the PCI bus but
these two entries tell me that they see two of the three cards on that
bus:
-   01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos
HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6400 Series] Subsystem: Micro-Star International
Co., Ltd. Device aa98

My add on video card, the AMD chipset on board is not supported by
current kernel modules, in other than experimental driver modules.

-   03:05.0 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. Device 2f10
(rev 01)Subsystem: U.S. Robotics Device 2013

My unconfigured USR Sportster Fax/Modem.
