[LAU] RME PCI host and Multiface problems

[Svend-Erik Kjær Madsen]

Hi
I've just installed a RME HDSP PCI card and connected a Steinberg Nuendo
box "Multiface" but when i try to load the firmware i get following:

hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards:
Card 0 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0xdd000000, irq 3
Upload firmware for card hw:0
Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:0 : Input/output error.

Can it be caused by to long cables "my cable is round 4,5 meters" and
HOST indicator lights red ?
