There is an Problem to Install YDL 3.0 on an OldWorld PPC 7300 (G3 =
Works...)

There is a PCI Formac Symbios (sym53c8xx) Card.

There were no problems with YDL 2.3 with the vmlinux 2.2 Kernel.
- Installing direktly on the concerned HD (4GB) through this card.

But now happens the following :

Booting with BootX 1.2.3 (1.2.2 works also) Kernel vmlinux 2.4. . . . =
-8boot, Ramdisk 40MB  . . .
the sym53c8xx Driver is loaded short before the further installing =
procedure. No Problem to install
YDL 3.0 on this disk.

After installing and restarting the system can't find the HD which works =
under the Formac Symbios 53c8xx card.
CD Drive, internal and external HD are found by the included Linux =
drivers.

How can I activate the sym53c8xx driver with the vmlinux 2.4. . . .-8 =
Kernel during starting ?
Is there any argument I can use within BootX ?!
