Subject: Radeon PCI ROM unavailable on Alpha

Access to the VGA BIOS ROM on my Alphaserver DS20L with a Radeon X1550
PCI does not work. The ROM located at /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pciid>/rom
is blank.

Before starting X, I issue the following commands from the said directory.

echo 1 > enable
echo 1 > rom

rom is empty at this point, which causes X to fail to load when
started. See FreeDesktop bug 15699 for X logs using radeon and
radeonhd drivers.

Any clues about fixing this?
