These are now tested and confirmed to be working correctly.

No this is a different problem. PR 10539 applies to cards which still 
have the original ROMS. The PowerROM issue is different as the PowerROM 
uses the same device ID's as PowerTec SCSI cards and then misprobed by 
the kernel. Som additional work in the podulebus probe code will be 
required to deal with this issue. I don't see this making it into 1.5.

Only if he was using the 1.5_ALPHA kernel uploaded from my FTP site. I 
have only got this piece of code working recently and have not yet got as 
far as submitting it as a PR.
