According to IBM support, these 4501 cards are notorious for coming out of
the board and a special device was made to secure them. This appears to be
the problem bc I can configure my 4th slot card
Man was I BANGIN MY HEAD on this one guys!

Bobby,
The EEH errors refer to Enhanced Error Handling. According to IBM not all
device drivers may fully support this feature. It sounds like the new
device drivers now support EEH so you are now seeing errors being logged.
It appears that EEH was implemented to prevent a device from bringing down
the entire machine in the event of an error. This is particularly important
in an LPAR environment. You didn't say whether you P650 was running in LPAR
mode. I would call AIX support and let them figure out what the problem is.
Also, I did a quick check and found the following web page that had some
general information about EEH.
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/lpar/eeh.html
I hope this helps.
