Actually - I installed it first on a UMAX S900 with voodoo5 card on it, then
I installed in a 9600 with an 8 meg voodoo2 banshee (Mai-Pi 750) and it saw
that and recognized it - calling it a mai-pi voodoo banshee - which is
correct. Although, until I put the 2.4.x kernel in, it isn't very speedy.
It must be a hold over from i386 code that looks for the S3 chipset.
