When you say "reset", is it resetting the Amithlon software or resetting the computer?

I've got a lot of information on OpenPCI but I have to go to work. I'll take a look later to see if there is anything I can help with though.

I'm pretty sure that's a known problem with Amithlon but I'm not sure why it only happens with some PCI devices.

ArakAttack includes a reset command that resets cards that it is aware of to avoid this.  This is also mentioned in the ArakAttack help file.

I can't tell you how it works off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it's calling something on the x86 side of Amithlon.

I'd disassemble his reset command or try to contact him to see what's going on.
