I had the same problem with a non Aladin system.

I believe the problem is that Takanori's examples no longer work
since changes were made to pcisupport.c.

Why do I say this ?  Because Takanori said so in email to me.

I dont understand how it all works but if I show you Takanori's
comments maybe you guys will.

START Takanori's comments ===========================================

Commited code on pcisupport.c from 1.88 to 1.89 will break it.
If "intpm.h" is not included,chipset probe code is used instead of
the driver probe code.

P.S
I have forgotten to enclose unused variable in #undef ENABLE_ALART
with #ifdef ENABLE_ALART - #endif ,so the variable may deleted when it
was commited. And currently ENABLE_ALART code will not work properly.

END Takanori's comments ==============================================

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
 E. P. Tryon   from "Nature" Vol.246 Dec.14, 1973
