    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
