Is this a PCI problem, or a tulip problem...

What is the part number on the chip?
Why do believe that it's a 21*4* card?

Yup.  The APIC code in 2.1.12* might assign an artificial high IRQ number,
but an unassigned I/O address is obviously wrong.
A device ID of 0 is likely wrong as well.

Check that the card is fully plugged into the PCI slot.
