Hi Till,
what du you meen with "copy the fcode to your linux partition" ?
I have maybe the same problem. Using two cards works well whith solaris but
linux will stuck. After booting linux I get an dark screen and linux is
running whithout any graphical output (console or X). I can login over the
network.
Regards
Reinhold
