However, the probe seems to be effected by other probes. Try booting -c and disable *all* the devices you don't have (I think aha0 is what causes this specific problem). It should then be detected. Also check if your card is of the -A variant. The -A variants are only supported by 2.1.6R and higher. If you use 2.1.5R an -A card will not be recognized. Nadav
