Very simple: Because the driver can't read the vendor print on your card, and it might be from, say, Tekram, and the GPIO pins might have been wired differently, and may, for example, attempt to write some undefined values to your Flash BIOS on the card ;-) > options SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT # for LEDs Be aware that this works only with cards with SDMS BIOS (and I'm not even sure, whether it works with all of them).
