Hello,

We use on our DS10 powerful graphic cards that are not supported by
Tru64. So we have for them an installation procedure, that makes us add
information in some kernel source files in /usr/sys, and add lines in
the kernel source.

This works fine with 4.0F, but when trying to adapt the procedure to
5.1A I have a problem, as the kernel description file has changed.

In 4.0F, I have the following lines in the config file (among many
others, of course)

bus pci0 at nexus?
bus pci1000 at pci0 slot 20

and I can add my graphic cards' descriptions:

controller mdia0 at pci1000 slot 9
controller mdia1 at pci1000 slot 10

Now in 5.1A the PCI bus is only defined by the following line:

config_driver pci

So I can't figure out how to insert my cards. The 5.1A documentation
about building a new kernel does not give any clue to this problem.

Could anyone help me to figure out the solution?

Thanks by advance,
