Somewhat related
I've a debian 2.0 kernel 2.0.36 with *no* SCSI disks, and i see the
{DriveReady SeekComplete Error } also
(but not the other one)
i think i have also my kernel with Intel Triton support.
and i have also some stranges memory/disk problems, the system with 64Mo
crashing a lot of mine, and now with only 16Mo, not crashing but
making strange things to disks (like when rebooting, it's stuck at LIL- which i
repaired by booting with floppy and relaunching lilo, but it's strange isn't it
?)
(if someones has a clue...it's a pentium MMX and i got same problemes with
2x32Mo EDO, 1x64Mo SDRAM, 2x32Mo SDRAM)
i will try tomorrow to recompile the kernel without this support, and i'll see
if it's better.
I'll let you know.
Thanks for the idea by the way...
Patrick
