Bizarre... on a different computer, the two Kfirs work very well...

So, I probably need to retract or at least change the question:

Has anyone had any problems with multiple Kfirs in a machine, where one
Kfir works well? I tried swapping PCI slots with no result, and if I
only insert one Kfir, it works in either slot.

The machine where it doesn't work is a PCM-9370 single board computer by
Advantech (Transmeta TM5400 CPU, 3.5'' form factor, PC/104+-to-PCI
adapter). The machine where it works is a PICMG single board computer by
IEI on a passive PCI backplane.
