I recommend you download the kernel source and headers from Cobalt and then take a
look at drivers/pci/pci.c to see if your card is listed.  If you don't know the
card ID, find the '#if 0' block in pci.c that turns off printing the results of
scanning the pci bus and remove it.  Also turn on the DEBUG flag for this file and
re-complile.  Be sure to recompile the modules as well and install them.  Then you
can use the results in dmesg after a reboot to show you the results of the PCI bus
scan.

Of course, you could just try putting it in and seeing if it works ;).  After a
reboot you might just be able to access the ttys.
