Doing so still gives me some unresolved symbols but only 2, scsi_unregister_Rd039d977 and scsi_register_Rc1833384 and the modules.dep only lists scsi_mod for the ft3xx driver, I thought it needed the sd_mod too. > > Also I've read on this list that the newer kernel released for FC1 had > > support for this card, is that true?

Well so far I want to use whatever works because I have a computer I really want to use that's pretty much useless until I can install FC1 on it. If I can get it to install, I could always change the driver afterwards and see which one works better. > I decided to use the controller just for plugging the harddrives to it > and then use software raid function of Linux.
