Thanks Mike. I do not know the functionality of SRM but I guess that,
besides other functions, it should scan for PCI devices, get the information
of each device and allocate all the necessary resources. Andrew Gallatin
[gallatin@cs.duke.edu] said he has a Promise adapter working on a Miata, so
at least the Miata's SRM can allocate the resources. Do you think it has a
database for all "known" adapters, or at least a class of adapters? And this
database would be different for different Alpha models?

Supposing that is the case, what would be the solution? We cannot change the
SRM, so something else has to recognize and allocate the resources. Is there
already any similar code in the kernel? If somebody knows it, could you
point it to me? I might be able to make these modifications.

Thanks to everybody.

Sergio.
