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.

PCI seems to be OK. Only changes are that the sl82c105 IDE got assigned some
I/O ports now.

Everything worked fine in the 2.4.1 from a month ago.

Are there any conflicting assignements ? Could you check if the new
phys_to_bus() function returns proper values (finds the bus on which
the Sym chip resides) ?

My hose resources were not set up, so phys_to_bus() returned NULL. Wouldn't it
be better to return pa in that case, or at least print an error to the console?
