It might help if you described "does not work" in more detail... could
you paste error messages?

I've seen a problem on PReP where although the SCSI card is addressed at
0xc0000000, the BAR is 0x0 (because of the host bridge offset). From
memory, the sym2 driver checks the BAR and if it's 0 errors out.
Removing that check or enabling "normal IO" worked fine. Of course, this
might not be your problem, but without actual error messages...
