Solution
BELOW IS TO BE CONFIRMED: does 194-08 solve the problem ?
If patch 194-08 cannot be installed immediately, boot Boot with genvmunix and update the kernel configuration file as described below:
...
# cat /sys/conf/AXP001
... bus isp0 at pci1 slot 1 vector ispintr
controller scsi0 at isp0 slot 0
bus pci0 at mcbus0 slot 4
bus eisa0 at pci0 slot 1
callout after_c "../bin/mkdata eisa"
controller gpc0 at eisa0 slot 0 vector gpcintr
controller ace0 at eisa0 slot 4 vector aceintr
... |
...
We'll replace then slot 4 by a free slot in pci0 8 to correct this (according to the table mentioned above, slot 8 is free):
# vi /sys/conf/AXP001
... controller ace0 at eisa0 slot 48 vector aceintr
