Debian boot issue.
Hello,
I try to install slink (debian 2.1), booting from the cd-rom 1, and I
have no
problem until the system tries to detect the scsi devices.
My PC is an Pentium 200MHz (non MMX) with 128MB
I have a SCSI controller which is an AHA-2940A
a PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-40TS Rev: 1.00 (SCSI)
a QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL SE8.4S Rev: PJ09 (SCSI)
a QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL SE4.3S Rev: PJ09 (SCSI)
and a Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100, ATAPI CDROM drive
The video card is an ExpertColor DSV 3968P.
Here you have the message I get when I boot from the CDROM
...
md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
(scsi0) <Adaptec AHA-2940A Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 17/0
(scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 3/255 SCBs
(scsi0) Warning - detected auto-termination
(scsi0) Please verify driver detected settings are correct.
(scsi0) If not, then please properly set the device termination
(scsi0) in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS by hitting CTRL-A when prompted
(scsi0) during machine bootup.
(scsi0) Cables present (Int-50 YES, Ext-50 NO)
(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 419 instructions downloaded
----- After the 'Download sequencer code...' message the boot is
completely stuck.
I have also tried the boot parameters like
boot: linux aic7xxx=extended,no_reset
or without the no_reset but no improve.
With the no_reset I am just stuck after the warning message telling
to use it only if you know what you are doing ...
Now I have tried to boot from a TOMSRBT disk and the messages are the
following :
(As you will see no problem ...)
