/proc/pci is only available if you enable CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC. It's being
obsoleted by the new /proc/bus/pci.

To use /proc/bus/pci, you may want to install Martin Mares' pciutils (announced
earlier today):

ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/mj/linux/pciutils-0.91.tar.gz
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/hardware/pciutils-0.91.tar.gz

Greetings,
