You may need to configure the board in PCI agent mode so that it can
respond to the PCI configuration cycles. By fefault, it might come 
in master mode ( wherein it generates the PCI cycles and configures 
other devices in its PCI bus)

It should be a hardware configuration option. So you should see a 
jumper on the board or you may need to mount/unmount a resistor.
Pl check the hardware user manual.
