unfortunantly I was unable to build a kernel that will work for me.
the system is a K6-3 400 with several IDE drives and a SCSI drive hooked
to an adaptec 2940. LILO and the boot kernels are on IDE, but the linux
root filesystem is on the SCSI drive
I compile the kernel without a problem, but when it boots it generates
several screens of errors as it attempts to initialize the SCSI buss.
unfortunantly I don't have a serial console on that box so I haven't been
able to capture the messages (I can't capture dmesg becouse the system
never finds the drive and so can't complete the boot)
I have verbose errors turned on, and have attempted both the old and the
new drivers with the same results.
this system ran 2.4.0 up until about two months ago when I upgraded to
2.4.18 and has had no problems.
a quick google search has not found any posts about this, although
2.5.50-ac1 has a fix for this driver (doesn't sound like quite the same
problem though)
suggestions? additional info required?
