Hello,
my name is Ton van den Broek, software engineer at Leica Microsystems Lithography in Best, the Netherlands. Right now we are using OS-9 as operating system, but since we are losing our faith in it
we are considering moving to Linux. We are using an MVME2604 Power PC board, and it looks like Debian is the only one supporting this board. I've downloaded your bootfull.bin from 16 may 2002,
10:12, and boot the CPU-board with TFTP.
That is working, but it doesn't recognize the SCSI-harddisk, which means the end of installing Linux. The drive and cable must be allright, because OS-9 does recognize it.
I sent this email last week, and I received a reply from Anton Blanchard with this remark:

It does. Is the SYM53C8XX driver compiled into the boot disk kernel?
Anton
I don't have a clue what modules are in there. I thing it would be great if I could bootfull.bin myself, so I could try to find what is going on. The easiest way for this is having Linux on my PowerPC-board,
because my other machine is a PC.
Are there any possibilities for me to find out why Linux doesn't recognize the SCSI-disk?
Thanks in advance.
With kindest regards
