I can boot with "noprobe" and reach a spot where I can select my own 
driver, including an option to insert a driver disk. If you could send me 
the sym53c8xx_2 file I'll try to throw together a floppy and see what gives..

Unfortunately I don't have a working Linux at the moment, not even on my 
x86 box, so re-hacking initrd would be very hard.

Thanks a lot.
