Hi,
I too had no luck getting a 2.4.18 or a 2.4.21 kernel running on my up1500 +
qlogic scsi adaptor it would hang there every time. I've now put in an ide
drive but I haven't had time to try compiling a kernel for that. I tried the
precompiled one that is in testing but had no luck with that either. I've
had a compiled 2.4.18 one working for quite somew time on an xp1000.
good luck.
cheers,
PS there is a 2.5 kernel source in testing has anyone had any luck with
that?
