you are absolutly right, df was showing a very strange output.
cool for nailing that down!
i don't know if i'll be able to retest in the next 2 weeks
as my conctact (which has the keys) is filming his newest production.

would also be nice to see if the fix pci routing problem
cures the dac 960 oops.

you'll get feedback from me as soon as i can retest.
thanks for your founded feedback and d-i work.
a+ maks
