Advansys driver freezes kernel

[Robert Persson <ireneandrobert@telus.net>]

Hi.

I have an Advansys ABP940-U2W scsi card I would like to use on a powermac 
8600 under Linux.  It works fine under MacOS.

Unfortunately, when I either load a kernel with advansys support built in, 
or I load an Advansys module, the kernel freezes.  This only happens when 
the card is installed in my machine.

I have tried this with various differently compiled kernels from two 
different sets of kernel sources (2.4.20-8d (Yellow Dog 3.0) and 2.4.22 
(from kernel.org)) but the same thing always happens.

Any ideas?

Robert
