Hi,

we've tryed to compile Linux Kernel 2.4.18 on a Compaq Proliant ML370 G2,
Pentium III 1.13Ghz, 1GB RAM, 2x36.4GB HD and SCSI Controller Compaq Smart2 5i,
firmware version 1.80. The problem is that if we enable the
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM to 4GB in order to enable full 1GB support, the kernel
will panic saying that it cannot correctly access the
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 root partition. Disabling the CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM support
all works fine.

Is this a known issue?

More info about our setup:

Debian 3.0
gcc version 2.95.4

Let me know if you need more info.

TIA.

Kind regards,
Luca
