I too have had problems with ATI PCI video in a Compaq 3000 server
when installed with certain other cards; in the 3000 (PII EISA version)
the BIOS will hang during 'pci auto config' (see my old posts
in 'alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq.servers' regarding 'pci auto config').
This is most unfortunate since Compaq's Remote Insight products
use the RAGE 3D chipset and are supported boards for this platform.

I would be very interested in ongoing efforts to RE offending BIOS
code; perhaps these projects could be tackled by a team of willing
masochists.
