May I perhaps add some silly remarks:
Only ncr5380= (second line above) will be recognized by Linux-1.2.10.
All other ncr53...= won't reach the driver because init/main.c
doesn't expect such a commandline string.
I did post this quite a long time ago, but (at least untill 1.3.3) the
patch is not part of any kernel (except of mine and the kernels of
those who verified that I'm right).
Below ( 3rd posting, ...and last one ) the patch for init/main.c:
(relative to 1.2.5, but should fit well into 1.2.10)
