Potato kernel 2.2 not recognizing SCSI bus on Sun SS 5.
I have Debian with the 2.1 kernel running fine on a Sun SparcStation 5.
When I put the 2.2 kernel on it, the SCSI bus continuously resets
itself. My configuration is as follows.
Prom: Pilot 2.15
RAM: 128M
SCSI:
Seagate st-15150 in 411 case, id 3
CD-ROM Sun cd in 411 case, id 6
id's 0,1,2, 4 & 5 are 2.1G differential drives in an external tower with
a
converter from single sided to differential.
Video: CG6
Type 5 keyboard and mouse.
Solaris 2.51, 2.6, 7 and Debain with kernel 2 .1, boot, load and run
just fine with this configuration. When I try to upgrade, or do a fresh
install of the Potato version of Debian, the SCSI bus resets
continuously and will not run.
I removed the differential tower, did a probe-scsi-all with the new
drive configuration and there was no change in the error message. When I
tried installing from the cd, the SCSI bus was constantly resetting,
then said the CD was not available. I changed CD-ROM's (thinking I had a
bad or dirty drive), but kept getting the same result. I even copied the
distribution on to a drive in my stack to conduct an upgrade. All
programs upgraded normally and ran fine, until I installed the new
kernel.
The error message was
SCSI bus resetting waiting for message.
SCSI sector xxxxxx not found, resetting.
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks,
Curt
