what behaviour are you seeing ? I experienced the following from 1.3.5? to 2.0.10: a phantom NCR is being probed at 0x350. this makes my system hang, because the ncr-driver will then detect a busy card at 0x350, since inport(0x350)=0xff which means SR_BSY is always 1.
the driver will then try to send some abort command to the phantom card and will then just hang, thus blocking any further booting.
go to linux/drivers/scsi/Makefile and uncomment the EXTRA_FLAGS = -DGENERIC_... { 0x350, ... maybe that helps.
nb: this error cost me about a day of searching the f*cking bug...
