Now I took the time to look what I did on the machine where I saw
this problem, and it appears that i configured the card to use
the ed0 parameters instead of the ed2 parameters, i.e. I
configured the card for port 0x280-0x29f iomem 0xd0000-0xd3fff
irq 9.  With those settings I could use the SMC card with both
the INSTALL and the GENERIC kernels.

Right, this is also my experience.  The DOS SMC config program
may also have trouble finding the card if you have not power
cycled the machine.  Why?  I don't know.

I wouldn't know, but it would be possible to rip out one driver
after the other to find out which one of the others is causing
the problem.
