Hi Doug,
well, pulling cards demonstrated where the problem lie, but it
was not a hardware problem. By chance, I happened upon the "options
ASR_COMPAT" directive, and that solved my problem. However, the
GENERIC kernel configuration for i386 does NOT have this option, but
it does have the "asr" driver configured.
Having one but not the other causes problems, as I discovered.
