The Symbios 53C875 is the same as an NCR53C875 - I think this is
compiled into the stock kernel. The driver name is NCR53C8XX.
Note: Don't use the ncr53c7,8xx driver - it doesn't like the Symbios
53c875 AFAICT. Worse, if you choose the ncr53c7,8xx driver during `make
config', you'll never get a chance to choose NCR53C8XX (it's the very
next question if you answer "No").
Also, my controller is not onboard - but it's in a Compaq (even
Compaq branded! <gag>) and they're
notoriously picky with Linux :)
Hope this helps ...
