The PC was a completely different PC when I tried it that time.  This time,
I tried it on a similar PC (same motherboard model, but not the exact same
machine).  I had no problems with 2.6.18.  I looked a little close and I
noticed that the original machine was actually overclocked.  I did the same
to the machine that works and it is now not working.  So the problem with
the mac card seems to be the overclocking.  I completely forgotten about it
since it was a test machine anyway.

So this just leaves the problem I've experienced on the machine with the PC
u160 and the u/uw dual card.

I'll try 2.6.19 on the machine with the 2 scsi cards with the option roms
disabled.  I'd rather not run a -rc kernel on this machine.
