resc1440 i386 2.2.1-1999-10-22 failure on Compaq DeskPro XL 5133
Hi,
just wanted to report that resc1440 from disks-i386/2.2.1-1999-10-22
fails on a Compaq DeskPro XL 5133. For those who don't know it is a
weird EISA/PCI box with a Pentium 133, 32Mb RAM and an AMD combined
SCSI/Ethernet chip.
The floppy boots, loads Linux and then at the SCSI detection phase you
get an Oops (NULL dereference) and the kernel panics. Never even makes
it to init.
I have tried it with Debian 2.1 boot disks i386 2.1.9-1999-03-03 and
they boot fine, recognising the SCSI adapter correctly.
For info the contents of /proc/pci show the SCSI controller to be an
AMD 53C974 (driver AM53/79C974 PCscsi) and the Ethernet controller is
and AMD 79C970 (lance - which doesn't load complaining about a
"resource busy problem" but never mind this bit).
Hope this is of help,
Ciao,
Arrigo
