The other weird thing is that even though I have disabled "Fibre Channel support" and "Fusion MPT device support" in make menuconfig and did a make clean before doing make dep, I still get this qlogicfc0 device in the boot messages. I have even made sure that I deleted al qlogic* drivers in the /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre3 tree. To prevent this driver from being compiled into the kernel I had to copy the .config file out, do "make mrproper", copy the .config file back in, make oldconfig and then "make dep" etc. The upshot of all this is that I do finnaly have this machine booting a SMP Sparc64 kernel :-) although IDE, PPOE, USB and fiber channel are disabled. I can start doing the work on this machine that i was hoping to do :->. BTW, this device: 00:04.0 SCSI storage controller: QLogic Corp. QLA2100 64-bit Fibre Channel Adapter (rev 04) is indeed a plugin PCI card. I just asked someone to have a look at the back end of the machine :-).
