IIRC, with older netservers that have the onboard AIC78xx controllers as EISA devices, there's some sort of conflict between slot "addresses" - the default base PCI "address" is at slot 10, but the EISA controllers are in that range and so get clobbered. Suggest searching the LINT file etc for references. I'm not sure that this problem causes what you're seeing though - the onboard controllers just wouldn't be found during the probe as I recall. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
