bug in the sti code. It doesn't use the sti rom from the card, but from
the onboard sti rom. I've played with my 715/100 with an extra HCRX and
had the same problem. I've disabled the HCRX by removing the connection
between mainboard and HCRX, then the kernel from the 0.9.2 crashed after
starting the init from the install ramdisk (Kernel Fault: Code=15) :-(

Hopefully I'll get some sti hacking done during the upcoming Linux
Hackermeeting in Oldenburg coming weekend.

Thomas.
