If your kernel is stuck with an 888 display in the RS/6k leds or an E1Cx
it's the SCSI car driver.
I have several B50, which uses a sym53c89, for some bizarre reason the
driver is totally broken in the 2.2.17 tree, it works in the 2.4.0-test
tree, but the Matrox drivers are broken (I have GTX130P adaptor, basically a
Millenium II in disguise). I haven't tested the 2.2.18 or the newer releases
of 2.4.0-test because since I'm switching jobs I've been having less time to
play. My solution (I needed to recompile a kernel to add ipchains,
ipforwarding and transparent proxy support) was to use the stock 2.2.15 in
YDL 1.2 and patch it with whatever was needed.
Hope this helps.
Stefan
