Neither of the modules which might work with this scsi pcmcia card are 
cardbus (both end in _cs) and one of them (aha152x_cs.o) was at your site 
under pcmcia but the other was not (sym-something_cs.o).

I will try cardmgr -v when we have copied BL3.40 to this replacement 
computer with replacement hard drive (onboard controller, hard drive, and 
first replacement hard drive all had problems - and we lost three 
computers in the past few weeks.  Too hot for them?).

People are now throwing out 700MHz around here.  I have something that 
works on one (BL2 with 2.4.31 kernel, BL3 with any kernel) but I was 
hoping to learn something about how they differ and why BL3 would work 
where BL2 would not.  Something about busybox during boot?  Is there 
anything I could try changing in BL2 to get it working with 2.2.26?
