Hi, everybody!

The ncr53c8xx driver still crashes on card initialization. It worked in
2.1.132 and acXX. The older driver (53c7,8xx) does work. Does anybody care
to fix it?

This is the oops received when trying to modprobe ncr53c8xx:

I dunno why it did touch eepro100 init...

The SCSI adapter in question is Symbios NCR53C810.
