OK. I think is see the problem. Bus Master Enable and Memory Enable 
aren't enabled in the command register. I am not sure why the Memory 
Enable isn't set. LinuxBIOS should set that and this seems to be a 
problem in the LB generic pci init code (Anyone care to debug this?). I 
think that the driver should enable the Bus Master and LB shouldn't need 
to touch it (I would be interested in other opinions on this).

Try:
 >setpci 00:0d.0 COMMAND=7
