Thanks. This might well be my case. I've had this card for many years
(from 2000 or earlier?!), haven't checked the revision number yet.
Perhaps I'll try a new power supply on the computer before a card mod.
This card had been working on this machine perfectly for a couple of
years too - perhaps the power supply is at fault - or perhaps my
220-110V power transformer? - will try using another
transformer/stabiliser - could be a cheaper way out.
I have an old hdsp cardbus interface lying around not being used. Does
anyone know if these can be used successfully with an adapter on a
desktop? I asked RME this once, the question was forwarded to my local
distributor who never replied.
And thanks Chris for the lspci suggestion. After an unsuccessful boot
the card doesn't show up in the lspci listing.
Cheers,
Iain

You could try checking whether the PCI card is detected in
the cases
where
the firmware is not loaded. It is PCI and not
PCIe?
Compare the output of lspci in the good vs. failing case and
verify that
the PCI card is detected, because the driver will
never load
and attempt
to find the external interface if the PCI part of
the
interface is not
detected.
that's a good spot Chris, I tend to have that very same
problem from time to time with a HDSP PCI card, i suspect my
PCI extender to move in the rack and the card sometimes not
being detected at all on startup.
It also mean I have never find a real solution to this because
i suspect the hardware, so sometimes i open the rack, move the
card, and reboot.
Lain, if you're in the same situation, make sure the card is
properly inserted and aligned in the pci slot.
it may or may not apply to you, but this is required reading:

i just "lost" my HDSP card, which was a rev 3. no idea if it caused by
the same problem - it had been working in the same computer for
several years.
