hmmm ... OK, fair point ...

... so why wouldn't it?  Is it because this system is generally
expecting a serial console only?  If I power on the host with the
monitor plugged in I don't get the typical video-card greet (nor the
BIOS greet, but I wasn't really expecting that, tbh).

Another issue may be that the host isn't giving the card enough power to
run, as I'm told the net5501 has 3.3v 32 bit PCI only - the card itself
is keyed for 5.0v or 3.3v so from that point of view it should work

The complete dmesg for this host is below:

extracted lspci -v output for the card is:

        Subsystem: C.P. Technology Co. Ltd RV100 QY [Radeon 7000 Evil

... so at some point the card is working even if the kernel doesn't
drive it ... 

stumped ... any ideas?
