the only problem is I've watched the IPL code on arium, step by step, and
it works. This code works. I've watched the ss and es get loaded
correctly.

You don't have a spare card do you?

Like I say, these cards don't like to be handled. I'm concerned that your
card is now a brick.

The really bad news: we had a matsonic that sort of worked under award and
not under linuxbios. But I've had cards that work under linuxbios that
fail under award -- won't even post. I wish I had a good answer for you.
