In all likelyhood, during bootup, the kernel did not successfully
probe an ep0.

Go through your boot messages (try "dmesg") and look for the ep0
device. If it isn't there, it means your kernel didn't find it.

There can be several reasons that this happened, but typically it is
because the device isn't at the I/O ports and/or addresses and/or IRQ
expected by the probe.
