[plug] Motherboard/SCSI/Kernel probem: where next?

Are you running this as 'ncr53c8xx.o' or 'sym53c8xx.o'?
If I remember correctly, the kernel has options for both...
My Symbios only likes the NCR module, maybe yours is the other way round?
If it isn't, has anybody ever use the SYM over the NCR module?
