   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...
