Kelledin,

I'm using the NCRC8xx that comes with my machine. Are there any options
for that?

It seems (from an lsmod) that I'm using the sym53c8xx module. I didn't
check the boot disk yet, but I did notice that there is a ncr53c8xx
module in /lib/modules/2.4.22-1-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi . Could
using that module make a difference? How do I go about switching the
modules? BTW, I'm using the Debian-supplied 2.4.22-1-generic kernel, not
a custom-compiled one.


Thanks a lot for your help,

J-S
