TITLE:  Manhattan P & V and PCI Bridge Support
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   The AST Manhattan P and V servers, BIOS versions 1.14 or earlier, 
   are PCI BIOS v2.0-compliant, which does not contain support for 
   PCI bridges. Bridges normally use two function calls 
   (Get-Interrupt and Set-Interrupt) that are specified in PCI BIOS 
   v2.1.
   
   This issue affects the following systems: 501500, 501502, 501503, 
   and 501830.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   N/A    

 
ACTION 
 
   AST is aware of this symptom and is presently working to 
   incorporate PCI bridge support in our BIOS.    

 
NOTES 
 
   N/A
