My Dec AlphaServer 1000 (Mikasa) is currently running the 2.0.36 kernel from the Debian Alpha 2.1 cd.
I'm trying to install the latest 2.2.13 kernel, but it keeps hanging during the boot process.
From comparing the boot messages to the 2.0.36 dmesg output, I think it is hanging up just before detecting the scsi disk
The /var/log/kern.log just shows the last 2.0.36 messages.
Can anyone tell me what "make config" parms to pick for my scsi drive?
Is there any way to clone what the Mikasa 2.0.36 kernel parms are?
The output below is from the 2.2.13 boot, the 2.0.36 "dmesg" and the 2.0.36 /proc/pci.
