I recently installed a M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card into DEC/

Alpha XP1000, and it is causing crashes and complete lock ups of the

this is my main computer I shifted the card to a DEC Alpha PWS500au
and
it causes the same lock ups there, and in one case a kernel oops
made it
into the system log (listed below).
The oops looks related with mmap. Maybe alpha doesn't support the
mmap of coherent DMA pages like intel architectures allow?
