*Dig* I'm using 'NCR53C8XX SCSI support', with 2 scsi disks an a scsi cdrom attached. All further scsi options are default. > I had suspected that the older milo was involved in some way... maybe > not setting up a memory cache area correctly or overwriting this area > with something else.

Hm... are you building a 'generic' kernel or a kernel for a specific system type? (I'm using system type 'Alpha-XL', your system is a 'Alcor/Alpha-XLT') Oh btw.. I seem to be running a '2.4.18-rc3' kernel instead of '2.4.18', maybe that matters, I don't know how much these versions differ. I could send you my .config file off list if you think it might help... ~~ Wieger -- There's no time like Guinness time.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
