It's a PCI board that's about as broken are it only can be. The board runs on in PCI busses clocked at 33MHz. It only partially decodes the PCI config address space. Attempted access to one of the nimplemented registers of the IOC3 will result in access to another register. That's too buggy for any OS to cope with without that special kludge pci_fixup_ioc3. > Just, the base address the card (PCI bus?) is spitting out is very odd: > > eth0: SGI AceNIC Gigabit Ethernet at 0xfe7fc000, irq 8 > > The card is in slot 6, so I'd expect the base address to be 0x8900000. > Anyway, it dies on this: Query the address using the usual Linux PCI bus stuff from <linux/pci.h>. Anything else is doomed, especially guessing ... Ralf
