Yep.  It's sitting in an SGI machine room.

Yeah, that would be right.  Have you had a look at pci_fixup_ioc3()?
(That's the network card that seems to come with the Origin 200).  I
bet it's something similar.

Just, the base address the card (PCI bus?) is spitting out is very odd:

        eth0: SGI AceNIC Gigabit Ethernet at 0xfe7fc000, irq 8

The card is in slot 6, so I'd expect the base address to be 0x8900000.
Anyway, it dies on this:

        writel(HW_RESET | (HW_RESET << 24), &regs->HostCtrl);

        with:
                &regs->HostCtrl=9200000008900040
        or
                &regs->HostCtrl=92000000fe7fc040
        (depending on the base address... I hard coded in a more
        sane one, but it still crashes)

Cheers,
Andrew
