Ok. This is now starting to seriously irritate me. I can no longer build kernels anymore. Even blowing away the source tree directory and re-expanding the tarball gets me nowhere. Thankfully I retained a "safe" kernel which boots (but doesn't give me the functionality I'm after, namely Macintosh partition/HFS+ filesystem). Here is the relevant output of "lspci": 0000:00:11.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c895 (rev 02) Here is the relevant portions of my .config file for the non-working kernel: # Block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set # CONFIG_PARIDE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UMEM is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SX8 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set # CONFIG_LBD is not set # # ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support # CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y # # Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives # # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI is not set # CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO=y # # IDE chipset support/bugfixes # CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPNP is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OPTI621 is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_FORCED is not set CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y # CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AEC62XX is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ALI15X3 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATIIXP is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRIFLEX is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CY82C693 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CS5520 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CS5530 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT34X is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SC1200 is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NS87415 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SVWKS is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SLC90E66 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRM290 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set # CONFIG_IDE_ARM is not set # CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y # CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB is not set CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set # # SCSI device support # CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y # # SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM) # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y # CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR is not set CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SCH=y # # Some SCSI devices (e.g. CD jukebox) support multiple LUNs # CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y # CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING is not set # # SCSI Transport Attributes # CONFIG_SCSI_SPI_ATTRS=y # CONFIG_SCSI_FC_ATTRS is not set # # SCSI low-level drivers # # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_3W_XXXX_RAID is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_3W_9XXX is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_7000FASST is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_ACARD is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AACRAID is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_IN2000 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_MEGARAID is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_SATA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DMX3191D is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DTC3280 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_EATA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_EATA_PIO is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_FUTURE_DOMAIN is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_GDTH is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_GENERIC_NCR5380_MMIO is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_IPS is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_INIA100 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_PPA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_IMM is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C406A is not set CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=y CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DMA_ADDRESSING_MODE=0 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS=16 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_MAX_TAGS=64 # CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_IOMAPPED is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_IPR is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_PAS16 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_PSI240I is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FAS is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FC is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_1280 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C416 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DC395x is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DC390T is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_T128 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_U14_34F is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_ULTRASTOR is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NSP32 is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG is not set You can see that I indeed have my SCSI driver loaded (not as a module). Upon boot, I see the drives discovered and properly identified. The only difference between this kernel and the one I'm using right now is the addition of Macintosh partition support. Any assistance would be helpful. I'm not an expert kernel builder, but I've been doing it pretty steadily since ~1998 and I've *NEVER* experienced this much trouble. (btw: my kernel sources are from the Debian kernel-sources-2.6.8 package) -- Eric N.
