I managed to fix the problem with it.  If I move the AST FourPort off of
IRQ 2 (9), it works just fine either in or out of VP/ix.  I do not have any
devices that are using IRQ 2 (9) in my system.  Question I have is what could
possibly be causing my problems with using IRQ 2 (9) with my AST FourPort
card?
