Is the SCSI card plugged into one of the 64-bit slots? On my 600au, non-Digital PCI cards do not seem to work in the 64-bit slots, PCI bus 0; in fact, SRM has rejected many PCI devices I've tried in the long slots and dmesg indicates that the kernel doesn't recognize/initialize correctly those devices that SRM didn't complain about.
I successfully use a 53c875 and graphics cards in the 32-bit slots on PCI bus 1 (after the PCI-PCI bridge according to the -au docs). I may be lucky but I haven't noticed a problem between 2.2.20 and 2.4.18. good luck, sousa --- Rob Byrnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jay Estabrook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: 2.4.18 kernel hang using Symbios driver > > > > On Wed, May 01, 2002 at 04:07:19PM +1000, Rob > Byrnes wrote: > > > > > > Has anyone else had problems booting a 2.4.18 > kernel with the SYM53C8XX > > > driver? > > > > > > I have a Cabriolet running Woody, and while > kernel 2.2.20 with the same > the > > > driver loads up fine, I get SCSI RESET error > messages and then a hang > while > > > trying to boot into 2.4.18.
