Thank you for the fast reply!  I just now had a chance to try all of
your suggestions.

The patch mentions the wrong file.  :)  Other than that it installs
perfectly.

Thank you for the fast reply, but neither idea worked.  I first  tried
changing the reserve= command, but nothing changed.  I then upgraded to
2.6.12-rc4  plus your patch installed and the reserve= line still there,
and I get the same kernel messages.  On a lark, I also tried toggling
the "OS is plug-and-play" setting in the computer's BIOS settings.  The
results were the same -- the weird 1xxxxx status and the failure of the
card's driver to initialize.

Drats.

Various info is appended again, though it looks pretty much the same as
before.  Do you have any other ideas?  I would love to get this working
but I don't know diddly about what's going on here.  :(

Thanks again,

Lex
