Dell 6650 PCI slot problems.

[akilian@attbi.com (Alan Kilian)]

   We make a board that is used in a variety of Windows and Sun
   pci platforms.
 
   We recently started selling a Dell 6650 platform, and we seem to
   be having consistent problems when we populate certain slots in
   the motherboard.
 
   Our driver hangs when talking to the board. We have not investigated
   enough to exactly determine what is going on when it hangs.
 
   We can run fine with up to 5 cards if we avoid one particular slot.
 
   If we have even four cards installed, and we include the problem slot,
   we can get a hang.
 
   This occurs on multiple Dell 6650 platforms.
 
   1) Anyone else have any problems similar?
 
   2) This is the first time we have use a PCI-X compliant platform.
      Out cards are regular old PCI cards. Should we expect any problems.
 
    I will get further information about which slot is the problem,
    and post laster in the day.
