Yep, based on the number of PCI devices registered and the number of SCSI connectors on the card, looks like it's the P2SE. > I've had trouble at various times with 2.4.x kernels and those cards; > when last I checked (2.4.21, IIRC), they were OK, but could be broken > now.

Definitely looks broken with 2.4.22 and 2.4.23; if 2.6.1 works, maybe I'll have to pester some people for 2.6 support in d-i... Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
