Re: Debian and Adaptec 294x



Your message says me that the 7000FASST might not be the cause of the
problem.

Well, try this one then

# cp .config.save .config
# make menuconfig # remove all compiled in SCSI support except aic7xxx
# make dep; make clean; make zImage
# mv arch/i386/boot/zImage vmlinuz-2.0.36-only-aic7xxx

  available as ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/vmlinuz-2.0.36-only-aic7xxx

# cp /.../disks-i386/2.1.9-1999-03-03/resc1440.bin .
# cp resc1440.bin resc1440.bin-only-aic7xxx
# mount -o loop resc1440.bin-only-aic7xxx  /mnt
# cp vmlinuz-2.0.36-only-aic7xxx /mnt/linux 
# /mnt/rdev.sh 
+ set -e
+ readonly Arch=i386
+ Arch=i386
+ '[' i386 '!=' m68k ']'
+ rdev -R /mnt/linux 1
+ rdev -r /mnt/linux 0
+ rdev -v /mnt/linux -1
+ rdev /mnt/linux /dev/ram0
# umount /mnt

  available as ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/resc1440.bin-only-aic7xxx

To save download time, get vmlinuz-2.0.36-only-aic7xxx and do part two
yourself.

If this does not work, hmm, big problems
If this do work, let us include more SCSI support and iterate till we find
the one cousing the conflict.

Cheers,
Karl
