Debian Lenny on R710

Has anyone else ran into issues with Linux on the R710.   I'm running single
2.0x4 core proc and the Broadcom 5709 NICx4.  I have no problems with my
Dell 2950 with the Broadcom 5708 NICs.

The error that dmesg shows when loading the bnx2 driver is:
    Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.7.5 (April 29,
2008)
   bnx2 0000:01:00.0 Cannot find PCI device base address, aborting


I'm assuming that this something PCI related since the PERC6/i controller
isn't being recognized either.  To get around this I tried the basic
combination of kernel arguments pci=noacpi, acpi=noirq, pnpacpi=off, noapic
and nolapic with no change.

Any ideas?   I'm currently running Debian Lenny with the 2.6.26-2-amd64
kernel.

Thanks,

Cory
