I downgraded the BIOS in the card and it even works better on the x86 - not more pnp errors. > On x86, BIOS runs, on alpha, it doesn't. It could be that BIOS > configures something. Can you please post the result of 'lspci > -nnvvvxxx' of the sil24 controller on alpha and x86? I was attempting to look at that - SRM on Alpha won't run arbitrary option BIOSs (at least that I can figure - it will run those of devices it recognizes in some way via emulation). With that said, I've attached the output ... They are different, just don't understand the differences. ...tom
