Comments/Problems:
For this hardware sym53c8xx module does not work. Instead one must use
ncr53c8xx.
Reboot after install failed because initrd loads only sym53c8xx. Easy to
fix from shell
before first reboot, but you might consider modifying initrd to load both.
Snippet from my dmesg:
...
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
sym53c8xx: not initializing, device not supported
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
ncr53c8xx: 53c810 detected
ncr53c810-0: rev 0x2 on pci bus 0 device 6 function 0 irq 11

On closer inspection, this bug has already been fixed by Bastian's changes
in initrd-tools 0.1.78, which is targetted for sarge.
