You have right it doesn't matter.

But I do some progress:
Partition Check locks on the b180 at :
....
    res=check_part[i](hd, bdev, first_sector, first_part_minor);
....
in check_partition(...)

in the very first check_part[0]

Now how may I determine (with printk) which actual function is called?

Thanks,
    Joel

Well stopping gcc at preprocessing stage, I reach to figure out that only
msdos_partition is configured.

I continue (i will check first transmitted parameter values)

Well that is ok. 

Should this patch <http://lists.parisc-linux.org/hypermail/parisc-linux/10440.html>

be backport into 2.4?

yes - thanks for finding this!

arch/parisc/kernel/pci-dma.c has the same bug as what ccio driver
has/had regarding scatter/gather lists (pci_map_sg() interfaces).
Replace all references to "sg->address" with "sg_virt_addr(sg)".
Can you send me a patch off list for that?

If not, I'll probably do it since I'd like to get my B180 working on 2.4.20.
It will just take longer.

It's hard to compare different SCSI implementations.
IIRC, B2000 uses 53c875 and B180 uses LASI for SE narrow SCSI.
Check to see which driver claims the respective SCSI controllers.
