I have found other errors that can account for the confusion without
blaming the BIOS. Thanks for your response.
As for the BIOS being old, well that is yet another reason to NOT buy
a Packard Bell. (We just use them as fuse boxes, frankly. Rather blow up
that then my alpha, and came close a couple of times:-)

I have a situation where there are two bridges between the main PCI
bus and my device. bus 0 is the primary, bus 1 is the secondary, and
bus 2 is where the device lives. The first bridge is an i960RP and
the second is a DEC 21152. These devices work fine. O/S is Linux 2.0.
