PXIe-1082 won't boot with PCI based card installed

Salutations!
I work for a company that designed an add in card for some older PXI and PXIe systems. It attaches via a PCI interface to an external computer/laptop. (For example, it works in a PXI-1033 chassis with a laptop connected.)

A customer would like to use it in a PXIe-1082 enclosure with a PXIe-8861 computer in it. With our add-in card installed in any hybrid slot the system refuses to boot. Internally we use a PLX8656 IC for communications over the PCI buss.

When I install the add in card the system will post but will not boot. I can open the bios and have tried all combinations of PCI settings. I have tried windows 10 (32 and 64 bit. Yes, I know 32 bit isn't supported, but it was worth trying.) windows XP 32 bit, ubuntu 16.04 (64 bit) and several linux live boots.

As soon as the card is removed the system boots fine and the card works in other PXI and PXIe systems.

 

 


I am out of ideas to try, does anyone know any way I can get more information to continue troubleshooting?
