The cause seems to be that these machines have more than one PCI-Busses which lay behind on PCI-PCI-Bridges and only one gets probed/found under 3.*, 4.*. Furthermore under 2.2.7 the Busses seems to get probed but in an different order than the BIOS does because the ncr for the internal disks (which gets probed first by BIOS) is probed last by the Kernel and im my case the BIOS-drive C: gets da2. Verry annoying if Disks get added into the cabinet... :-( Do the symptoms trigger some Ideas by someone?
