Later kernels have dropped support for older B steping.

I know that hardware is sort of outdated. When installing Wolverine on the same BigSurs, I had to recompile the stock kernel making the SCSI-driver (qla-1280) static part of the kernel to be able to boot. However, recompiling the RH 7.1 kernel with SCSI-driver as static part of the kernel, did not solve my boot problems. Suggestions is highly appreciated!
