"pci_device_override" is necessary (and understood) ONLY on MIATA (PWS).
Also, I believe that the last SRM console on LX was 5.8; 5.68 may be
the last AlphaBIOS version?

I don't know if your "GVX1" is the same as the VX1 that we have been
selling in some of the EV6 boxes for a while now, but mine seems to
work OK in older machines like LX, even in the original PC164 and
some earlier EV45 boxes.
I assume it doesn't complete BIOS init, leaving you with black screen?
Could you send me some details on the board?
