insgesamt 1985524

But we need 3 CDs in any case...

Jep. I have tested then on a iMac Rev A. Works fine, but...
My iMac has a Formac SCSI Card / iProRaid (only for Rev. A & B iMacs),
which has a NCR 53c875. With this Card the Kernel loops. Now i
have removed the Card and everything works fine.
This does not happend with bootfloppys Version 2.2.15 ! It
is an new Bug with 2.2.16, but only with iMacs Rev A & B with this
Card.
I think building this driver as a module would help.
I have tested many kernel-parameter but nothing helps:
- ncr53c8xx=safe:y
- sym53c875=0
- ncr53c8xx=0
- sym53c875=safe:y
- ncr53c8xx=off
- sym53c875=off
what helps?
Frank
