    Hey, I missed that generic NCR5380 driver in the kernel config, actually ;) but
    I tried it and Linux didn't detect the card, still. At least, I didn't see
    anything indicating this in the boot messages and /proc/scsi/scsi still says:

    Attached devices:
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
      Vendor: IDE-CD Model: R/RW 4x4x24 Rev: 1.04
      Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
      Vendor: ATAPI Model: DVD-ROM 10X Rev: 5102
      Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02

    Maybe this SCSI host adapter emulation causes some trouble?
