nothing about it shows up in hwinfo or in lspci.
If lspci doesn't show the card, it is broken. I once had a Nova TV
from Hauppauge that showed the same symptoms. Returned it back to the
shop, got a new one - and that worked.

I am skeptical. it works fine in a Lenovo Thinkcentre I have access to
(had it running yesterday fine and I am sure when I put it back in the
Thinkcentre, it will work again.
and it worked fine on the motherboard I am trying to replace.
further a garden-variety (albeit ancient) nic also fails to show up but
I've used that nic for yrs in the other system.
nothing I have (the tv card, the nic - netgear fa311 rev-b1) shows up
on the pci bus.
Maybe there is some incorrect settings in the BIOS. Try loading the
defaults, or safe settings. It can also be the motherboard that has some
problem.
Regards.
no joy.
I tried both 'optimized defaults' and 'custom defaults'.
like I said, I suspected the motherboard but the fellow did that 'post'
test on two or three of the pci slots and was satisfied. I don't know if
such a test is adequate. (bottomline for him is that he won't take the
board back.)
This won't be terribly helpful, but I've had the experience of going
'round in circles with a computer shop proprietor about some bad memory;
whatever test he ran (I suspect it's the "test" that's part of POST)
showed no errors while memtest86 flunked it. Wasn't a pleasant
conversation.
It sounds, from what you've posted, like the motherboard is toast. Have
you googled to see if this board either is a known problem, or needs
some obscure setting?
Failing that, your options are to chalk it up to experience and buy
another board (and never darken that shop's door again), or insist they
take it back (which may end up reverting to option one, of course).
