thanks a lot for your help, it worked fine. :o)

That's right, with the menuconfig it was quite easy to configure this
correctly.

Nope, but I somehow managed to choose the right driver, anyway.

BTW, how can I build a compressed kernel on sparc? Neither
"make zImage" nor "make bzImage" work (no rule to make ...) on
my standard Suse 7.0 for Sparc (that's not too important for
me, but I would like to understand this, if you happen to know
something about it).
Thanks again for your help, with kind regards,
