I have a 2.4 kernel system that's been running smoothly for several years, but I have never been able to get the V2 Symbios driver to work with it (dual Sym53C1010/33 controller). I haven't moved up to Fedora because of it. And yes I've logged a bug report, but haven't seen any movement. I don't know if this is a driver problem or a hardware problem that the old driver ignored/worked around. I tend to believe the former.
