Maybe you didn't notice that it ALWAYS crashes during bus-scanning on those systems which use the Schizo or Psycho pci bridges. This may be unimportant for the XVR-2500 and later for the XVR-300. But the XVR-100 is a PCI 2.2 card and it is supported in systems which have Schizo or Psycho inside. There your current server will never start up. Never. Because you have compiled sparcPci.c with optimization and without an essential -D macro set. Not to mention that you mustn't use suncc to compile the bus scanning objects, because this makes them even more incompatible to the older PCI bridges.
