don't know if it's similar to 'lspci', but here is a complete cat/proc/pci
fom the machine with the pci-ide-controller card after starting debian
from the debian installation compact disk (note: the above mentioned error
message in dmseg is not given as long as the installation system is
started from cd holding down "c"-key, but is given after reboot from the
hard disk connected to the pci-ide-controller card or is given too when
starting the installation system from cd with a command from the boot
prompt in yaboot, so the lost interrupt problem always occurs if the
system has read from the hard disk connected to the ide-controller card
before starting the kernel):

this is the ide-controller with the hard disk hde connected to, in
proc/pci it is described as scsi, don't know why.

as you assume the card is supported under MacOS and it emulates a SCSI
controller as shown in "Apple System Profiler".
I've compiled the kernel from sources provided with the debian 3.0-cd and
got again the same problem, but have seen that the cards driver in the
debian 3.0 sources is version 0.9 and that there's a newer version 1.2
which I want to try next;
would be nice if you can give some further advice,
Bye rolf
