sym53c8xx_2 driver+tekram DC-390u2w+kernel-2.6.0 (Posting again)
As you can see by the subject of the e-mail I have a Tekram DC-390U2W
Scsi controller and am trying to get kernel-2.6.0 running, but I can not get
The sym53c8xx_2 driver to work properly. I have it build into my kernel and
It detects my scsi hardware, but when it tries to mount any scsi partitions
I get error reports about "parity error". I also have kernel-2.4.18
Installed and using the sym53c8xx driver without any problems.
I have tried using: linux sym53c8xx=3Dmpar:n, pcifix:3 With no luck. Is the
syntax wrong I have tried several way of typing this with no luck. I have
also read the sym53c8xx.txt file included with the kernel documentation.
One thing that I thought was strange was when booting kernel-2.4.18 and
When detecting my hardware it shows:
sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 15, function 0
sym53c8xx: setting PCI_COMMAND_PARITY...(fix-up)
sym53c8xx: 53c895 detected with Tekram NVRAM
sym53c895-0: rev 0x1 on pci bus 0 device 15 function 0 irq 11
sym53c895-0: Tekram format NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, NO Parity
sym53c895-0: SCSI bus mode change from 80 to 80.
scsi0 : sym53c8xx-1.7.3c-20010512
but when booting kernel 2.6.0 the sym53c8xx: is replaced by sym:
is this correct?
Sorry to be so long winded, but I am NOT a programmer just a regular
user, but this problem is driving me crazy. Could you please give me some
insight to what I should try next.
Also I tried compiling kernel-2.6.1 with no nluck
