Hi!
I think I have the answer to this one. :-)
I´ve successfully used this excellent little card under Linux
by simply removing the BIOS-scan entry (-DAUTOCONF) in
the Makefile in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi
and instead adding -DSKIP_BIOSTEST -DSETUP0="{IOPORT,IRQ,SCSI_ID,RECONNECT}"
(this ought to work: -DSETUP0="{ 0x140,11,7,0 }")
Then make dep clean bzImage (or whatever *S*).
Good luck!
// Happy Hacking!
