I just tried the current bk linuxppc_2_4 on my CHRP LongTrail

with Sym53c875

card. The Sym53c8xx driver fails downloading the SCSI

scripts, and keeps trying

ad infinitum.

At first sight, the kernel seems to work when I disable the

Sym53c8xx driver

with `sym53c8xx=excl:0x1400'. It boots to a shell from the MESH.

Er, the very current 2_4?  Paulus just commited some changes

which boil down

to we have phys_to_bus (or so) and can use the stock driver.

And, the 2_4/2_5 merged tree i've got locally and will be pushing into 2_5
shortly works w/ my 53c895 anyways (Booted and got 3 disks on 2 buses).

I have a 2_5 kernel, a Motorola MVME5100 with a sym53c875 based SCSI board
and it works fine.
