Just to bring the list up to date, I went onsite, popped the case open,
and guess what I saw..
SUPER X5DP8-G2 REV 1.2
rather than X5DL8-GG, so it looks like the vendor pulled a fast one. spec
sheet on that lists onboard Intel 82546EB dual port GigE, but note that
I've already got one single port Pro/1000XT and one dual port Pro/1000MT
in there, so I should've been seeing 5 em rather than 3. Turned out the MT
was the one that was hiding, but after a bit more testing, I managed to
get everything to appear by turning down the first 3 PCI slots to 33mhz
from 133, 100, 100. I then set speed back to auto, it autosensed 133, 100,
100, and everything showed up again. Did a few more reboots, and it seems
to be OK.

big thanks to everyone, especially mark for making me verify whether
reality actually matched documentation :)

John
