Have an 855GME chipset (MB890) and use a Via-Riser-card (passive) to extend 
the single slot to 2 slots.

Now something strange happens:
The Riser allows to jumper the IDSEL/AD to 12 different positions, all but one 
position lead to a collision of 2 PCI cards, yes, only in one position i have 
a collision.

Now the strange thing is, that only in this position i can access both devices 
(video-cards) properly (one card is then conflicting with the onboard network 
card).

I assume it has something to do with the Bios (unfortunately not yet LinuxBios 
possible) - is that behavior understandable?

Unfortunately it has the unwanted side-effect, that upon driver reload of one 
of the cards system gets instantly hard-reset, no oops just blank...

Any hint?
