Hello guys,

I don't see Linux panic very often (in fact - never) so I am a bit puzzled
as to how to debug it without usual things like crashdumps, paniclogs etc.

Now, my Compaq Proliant has two PII/400Mhz on 100Mhz bus, Two NCR53c8 SCSI
(aka Compaq SCSI) hosts. The system BIOS is P08 (05/08/1998).
The boot process scrolls so quickly that I can hardly see what's
happening. All I get is that PCI: Device 00:00 (and a0, a1, a2, a3) not
found by BIOS. And also there was a page worth of hex dump of something -
I think it was from the SCSI subsystem.

The SCSI and tlan are compiled in the kernel - there is no point in using
things like that as modules because they are in use all the time.

Memory is 64M although I do have to pass mem=64M to LILO to see it all,
otherwise it appears as 16M. Network is Netintelligent or something (tlan
basically - I hate when manufacturers invent confusing names instead of
just refering to the chipset/revision number!).

Linux 2.0.34 boots and runs absolutely fine as UP. I haven't tried .0.34
SMP yet.

Any ideas where do I start debugging it?

Regards,
