Paul,
First of all, thanks a million for posting your milo and kernel-image.
It allowed me to quickly make some tests here on my XLT that leads me to
believe I have a hardware problem!! Here is my reasoning:
1. My milo + your 2.4.18 kernel --> kernel panic. The messages is
"...Cannot open root device "sdb3" or 08:13"
2. Your milo + your 2.4.18 kernel --> same error message as above.
3. My milo + my "stripped" 2.4.18 kernel --> same error message as
above. Note: I have made the "default" changes to look like yours for
the SCSI card.
Since yours is a known "good" combination that boots the 2.4.18 kernel
and it acts the same way as all of my attempts, I would think the only
possibility left is something wrong with the SCSI controller.
