It has been suggested that the bug might be one of: 1, buggy adapted driver, update to aic5.1.15 2, conflict between adapted driver/card and WD-7000 SCSI driver/card 3, BIOS problem
To find out which one it is: if 1, try to boot with e.g. ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/* or Marcelo's disks if 2, try with disk without WD-7000 driver if 3, how do we test that? >Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 22:35:53 -0500 (CDT) >From: Ossama Othman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Debian Rescue Floppy / Adaptec bug redux Seems to have tried route 1 and 2: >Nope.

My success with a 2.2.4 disk was with an adaptec only disk! So this seems to rule out cause/solution 1. And we also see that 2 works, at least for Ossama and my 2.2.4 install. So I propose (quick fix for slink): * make like standard slink resc/drv disks but omit the WD-7000 * test that disks I'm to busy at the moment (preparing a Linux device drivers course) so someone else must do this. (In the longer run one would probably choose the initrd approch as suggested in debian-boot) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Hammar Aspö Data [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lilla Aspö 2340 0173 140 57 S-742 94 Östhammar 070 511 97 84 Professionella Linuxlösningar Sweden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
