My A7V's BIOS gave me the worst trouble of any MB since before there were onboard battery backed BIOS config utilities. Its fool default concept of PCI resource allocation worked in NT4, barely. Gave FreeBSD fits. Start by disabling "PnP Operating System" in the BIOS. If that's not enough start manually allocating PCI resources and interupts to your slots. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
