pci-bios: No BIOS present

If I install QNX on a machine and the command

pci-bios -v

gives me

pci-bios: No BIOS present - Status ffffffff - errno 14!

Does that mean that I’m basically screwed and there is nothing I can do
about anything on the PCI bus? (Like say a PCI network card?)

Or can I do some magic and make it see the PCI bus?. :slight_smile:

This is an Arcom SBC-Geode-GX with a “CS5530A I/O Companion Chip” and Award
BIOS.

Thanks!

Fixed, Arcom gave me some DOS exacutable to disable the FlashFX BIOS

extensions and now it works with QNX perfectly.
