Linux on DEC PWS 200i (no PCI bus...)

Hi,

This afternoon I booted Linux on a Digital PWS 200i (Dual PPro 200),
but none of the PCI devices showed up (no Matrox, no built-in Ethernet,
not even the standard Intel PCI chipsets). I was using a kernel 2.0.27
(with PCI support compiled in, of course ;-), which I had tested with
success on a single Pentium with PCI devices before). The kernel had
SMP support built in, if that makes any difference (assume not).

Does anybody know what's going on here? Is this a problem with the
design of this system, unknown chipset, or...

Thanks in advance.
