I have found this on one particular server (a 1U industrial server),
and it was traced to a faulty backplane not connecting the IRQ line.

As a test, try replacing the TE410P with a different PCI card that you
know works in another computer, e.g. an Ethernet card. See if it
initializes and generates interrupts. If not, then your problem is
on the PCI bus somewhere.
