Hmm, I didn't have any problems with the 53C876 or the 53C896 on a
Proliant 3000 or Proliant ML530, respectively. Boot the system using
the verbose flag ('boot -v' at the boot prompt), and show us the dmesg
output. Also tell us which drives are on which channels. According
to a little Compaq book I've got here, the 6500 has a single
integrated dual-channel controller, which is most likely the 53C876
(dual-channel 53C875). I have only used one channel on these so far,
but the other channel looks like it is detected just fine.
