Kodicom 4400r under linux

I have been using zoneminder for a number of years on an old pentium D server with a 4 channel capture card. I am in the process of a server upgrade, and purchased a new 16 channel card on e-bay to run on the new box.

Based on severall searches, it seems to be a Kodicom 4400r or a similar knockoff.

However, I cannot get the card to work after following the direction found here:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Kodicom_4400r

In an attempt to get switched over quickly, I moved the card from the old box over to the new one there was an error on bootup (bad pci header!?!), and the card did not show up using lspci.

So, the technical details:

A picture of the card can be found here:

So, any sugestions would be much appriciated!

Thanks for any input...

Are you sure the card on the new box is inserted all the way in?
Also, i know this sounds weird but you might want to try cleaning that PCI slot and the PCI pins of the card.
