I see. > - The PCI slot is 3.3 v and apparently I don't have a single PCI card > that seems to work on it ...

The slot bracket has to be on the side where the UART / USB / CAN connctors are. Do not insert the card with the slot bracket pointing to the IDE connector. Also be VERY carefully which card you insert. make sure it is _really_ a 3.3V compatible card. [I fried a board by trying a Digitus "DC SER2 Rev. 2.0 Serial PCI I/O Card" - this card has the key slots for a 3.3/5V combi card, but the V_I/O pins are connected to the 5V rail.

Can you attach a debugger? Or even try a post-mortem dump of the logbif area? Both PCI and USB are working fine for me. > I'm not sure my hardware is fully OK, but I did mtest on u-boot for > about 10 hours and it didn't complained. It's a fresh new board from > motorola... Maybe you can ask for a replacement. Your problems don't look normal to me.
