milo hangs with Radeon VE in SX
Hi again,
I did some more testing and it appers that it is not the initialization
of the scsi controller, but milo stops after that is done.
It prints out "scsi: 2 hosts" and hangs after that.
The milo used is 2.2-17
I've read some people used Radeon cards in their alpha's,
is there anyone who has got a Radeon PCI card working in a
164SX ?
Is there anything I should try before making the switch to srm/aboot
to see if that helps ?
Regards,
Jaap.
