There's a peculiar oddity about the PM 9500 with the current linux kernels
that I've noticed. The 9500 has 2 PCI buses, the MacOS handles both busses
fine, but I haven't been able to make linux reconize the second bus. So
that means you'll only beable to use the upper three of the six PCI slots in
linux.
If anyone has been able to use the other PCI slots, I'd like to know how,
cause I may need to use them in the future.

All,
I was wondering if anybody had any [better] luck or suggestions for
getting the following to pci cards to work with YD [in a 9500, fwiw]
Initio Miles2 Ultra2 SCSI adapater [wide, lvd]
Asante 10/100 ethernet NIC
Thanks.
Also, is there an up-to-date RAID faq or how-to somewhere ? If so,
cool. If not, how would I go about writing one ? It only takes
about 5 minutes with YD, but I spent a solid 2-3 days searching for
docs and was very disappointed. Most of the stuff is either (a) over
a year old or (b) completely glosses over the non-intuitive and dives
straight into the unnecessary or (c) both.
terminally curious,
-Ben
