Compact PCI



hi there,

I'm trying to run linux on a CompactPCI setup.

As long as I have only one host card everything works great.
If I put more then 1 host card, the different Linux hosts keeps messing 
up each other, because they ALL try to initialize the devices on the bus...

I am told that what happens normally, is that the BIOS designates one
card as master host and the rest as IO and then only the master hosts
initiates the bus and all is well.

This is not happening for some reason.

I know that Linux is used widely on cpci setups but I couldn't find 
anything about this despite looking hard.

I would appreciate any pointer relevant information.

Many thanks,
Gilad.
