OK, so now, to completely confuse the issue: We have three test computers now: The one that does not work correctly (Iwill KK266R) Another one with the same hardware as above, but different Linux version (Red Hat 7.3, so linux kernel 2.4.mangled beyond recognition) An old Gateway 486dx2/66 with two PCI slots and the same Linux kernel So, basically, we have test system same system with different Linux version different system with same Linux version On both of the other two systems, it works perfectly fine. I have never seen a problem with it at all. On the first system, the PCI initialization worked ONCE (when we removed all of the other cards), and then upon rebooting, it was back to its "bad" configuration (I/O-, Mem-, etc.) I also attempted to manually "force" the board back into a working state with setpci: unfortunately, that didn't work for me. Does anyone know what the "[virtual]" tag means on the lspci -vv output by the memory usage? That's the only difference between the PCI setup that other people have seen and the PCI setup that I've seen. Needless to say, I'm really really confused about this, and we've basically decided to buy a new motherboard (cost is << buying a different NI card!) as that should fix the problem. But I'd still be really curious to know what the heck IS causing this problem. If nothing else, it will help anyone else who has the same problem. :) Patrick
