:They aren't even on the same PCI bus. Do you know if there is a BIOS
:update for this box? Perhaps the chipset is not being setup correctly.
:I saw something similar on an IBM RCC 3.0LE system. The remote system
:monitor would trigger a lockup when dumping video memory over the serial
:port. IBM resolved this with a BIOS update.

There appear to be several BIOS updates on DELLs site. Unfortunately
it is not possible for me to bookmark the page, Dell's site is a mess
of asp crap. I don't see anything specific the PCI, but in A07 there's
one for 'Added fix to correct slot voltage for all PCI slots in system
management BIOS (SMBIOS)', which sounds kinda scary.
