it probably means that the timeout is too short and with a fast machine
it gives this message. I am seeing the same on my P5-133 but do not
care too much since the card seems to work

this is instead an interesting data point... is it the same card ? The
two opti931 i have both show a serial of 0xffffffff and i though this
is because the board is so chea that it does not use an external E2PROM
so all boards have the same serial number.... (side effect: you cannot
have two in the same system)

	cheers
