Hi Alan,

we tried a different controller with originally an eprom bios. We simply put 
that eeprom away. (The Promise has a chip-integrated flash bios - putting 
that away seems not to be possible.) The kernel crashed alike. Do You have 
any ideas to get more debug output? I could set up my second C-Class with 
parisc-linux and test it there. (The first one is now running some essential 
services - continued crashing would not be good.)

Then I will have a deep look into the linux-code (oh, I'll have to learn C) 
and search for that stupid (sorry) 0x170 probe.

Thanks a lot! You will read more...
Joerg
