The probelm with the USB card is related to it getting IRQ1. Something
is fishy with assigning PCI interrupts (still or once again, I don't
know...)

Are you sure this is right? While trying to solve my
2.4-paulus-doesn't-boot-my-7600 probelm, I came across that code; and
sure enough, OF 1.0.5 (whic Stefan has in his 9500 also) doesn't have a
'quiesce' OF word.
