I've posted before about this issue, and I apologize for that, I also apologize for posting to the dev list, but it seems as if this is an oddball configuration that nobody seems to use.. everone's using IDE. Perhaps this driver is just not updated for the ppc arch, or has endian issues? Maybe the entire scsi layer for ppc has problems? I can't say. Regardless.. I'd like to see this fixed, this is a long-standing issue. I'd even be willing to lend or donate a powerdomain card to someone who'd be able to fix the driver for linux-ppc... I use the same card on several x86's with no such problems.
As I already told you privately, there's nothing I can do without more informations on the panic. The panic/Oops log, or whatever is printed by xmon if you have it enabled would be a good first step. Also, what kind of machine is it ? Is there any special message displayed by the driver before it dies ? etc... Right now, you just say "it doesn't work", not much we can do about it...
