Ahh okay. I might try Linux 2.6 on this box, however after testing
this card in an x86 machine I had, and watching it fail to complete
POST, I'm guessing my problem is that the card is in fact, dead.

I merely pulled it out of the Microserver, and plonked in my dedicated
games server (P4 1.4GHz, 256MB RDRAM, MSI Motherboard -- Gentoo Linux
1.4) and watched it boot. I heard no beeps, saw nothing on screen, and
the whole system just sat there.

Near the sound card sockets, there's a set of 4 two-colour LEDs
arranged vertically, which indicate system status -- I don't know what
the meaning is. (It'll probably be in the handbook I don't have -- the
board is second hand off Ebay). Normally these are all glowing green
when the system is fully up. Looking at it now, it halts with them
(going towards board), green, red, red, red. On removing the card, the
machine comes up just fine. I take it this means the card is dead.

Out of interest, the card itself is an "ACARD AEC-6710S" with an
ATP870IU-C chipset.

Odd that the Microserver should work with it though -- even if it gets
SCSI parity errors -- but I spose this explains the odd error messages.
Hrmm, looks like I'm back on the search for another SCSI card that
fits... :-/ (Anyone managed to get a SCSI card working in a Cobalt Qube
or Gateway Microserver?)
