Try thy SYM53C8xx driver. This is the new driver for "newer"
NCR/Symbios SCSI chipsets (>=825 I think) They have been split to be able
to specialize on the newer chips' features.

What does it tell? Are you sure there is a partition table on the zip

Ah.. you might have to explicitly load the "parport" and "parport_pc"
modules before (Or tell modprobe/kmod to load it automatically when
loading the ppa driver)
