Installation problem.. HELP!@
I am trying to install Debian 2.0 on this older server. It is a
dual-pentium 60 with 64 megs of memory and one 2.1 Gig SCSI hard drive.
The SCSI controller is an onboard controller and is an Adaptec AIC-7770.
The bus is entirely EISA.
I've made the boot installation disk from the ezdisk program on the Debian
CD, which has always worked fine before.
This is what happens when I boot:
It begins to load the kernel, goes through a bunch of normal looking
stuff, and then does this:
(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI host adapter> found at EISA slot 9
(scsi0) Twin Channel, A SCSI ID 7, B SCSI ID 7, 4/255 SCBs
(scsi0) BIOS enabled, IO Port 0x9c00, IRQ 11
(scsi0) IO Memory at 0x0, MMAP Memory at 0x0
(scsi0) Resetting channel B
(scsi0) Resetting channel A
*LONG PAUSE HERE*
Then it scolls too fast for me to see.. :( Next thing I can see is the
following:
(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Waiting List inconsistency; SCB index=0, numscbs=0
(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Waiting List inconsistency; SCB index=0, numscbs=0
(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Waiting List inconsistency; SCB index=0, numscbs=0
(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Yikes!! There is a loop in the waiting for selection list!

Aiee, killing interrupt handler
At this point, it freezes, and I must reboot, only to repeat the process
again.
I am no programmer, and all of this is well over my head. There is a
possibility that there may be something screwy with the SCSI stuff if only
because this is the first I've ever dealt with SCSI. However, I have had
someone else who knows about SCSI stuff check the configuration, and they
said it was done properly.
What does this error/crash/whatever mean? Is it fixable?
