Hello, I had a similar problem with an Adapted 2940 card which worked with everything but Fedora. The solution was to run # insmod aic7xxx_old.o This solution was provided by a person on this list. Maybe there is an ncr53c8xx_old.o module you could install to solve the problem. Remember to backup before making changes to give you a way back!
