I'm sure if you searched the hardware/scsi/questions mailing list archives you would find lots of references to this not being supported under CAM (the new SCSI subsystem that came in with 3.0). Despite the notes on the 3.2 CD-ROM set, I don't think that it is supported under 3.2, as I've just had a look around the kernel source tree of my recently installed 3.2 system, and while there appears to be a Tekram DC-390 (uses 53c974 apparently) driver - scsiiom.c in scsi/ - it appears to be for <3.0 kernels... :-( I have a vague recollection of Jordan mentioning that there should be a somewhat rough but mostly functional driver in 3.3. Apart from trying to confirm this via searching the above mentioned mailing lists, you should try just downloading the 3.3 kernel and mfsroot floppy images and seeing whether it is recognised. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
