Getting 7500 w/ G3 upgrade card to boot w/ quik

I have a 7500 with a G3 upgrade card (Sonnet Crescendo G3/PCI 250Mhz 512K cache) that I'm having trouble getting to boot w/ quik. I can run the boot / root disks just fine, but after installing quik and rebooting the system hangs. I've spent the better part of the day going through various troub

Has anyone managed to get the planb driver to work (or better yet, with the v4l stuff)? If so, how? What kernel, what distro, what phase of the moon? I have beat my head with Debian and now Yellow Dog to no avail. My last ditch effort was to install YDL 2.3 and then install the RPM's Michel
