I downloaded the Official CD images 2 or 3 months ago and did all the checks and balances before burning a CD. I also checked the CD image file against the burned image (dd and cmp under a UNIX system) and found no errors.
I tried to install from the CD using a DOS boot and running the install.bat file to start Linux (the one in the /boot directory). Initially, the kernel would find the 2740 cards, download "sequencer code", reset the bus (3 times, once for each card), do a few other things (qlogicisp probe and eata-dma probe) and panic with the message "Encounterd spurious interrupt". I checked the EISA config for the cards and found they were set to "level" trigger on the interrupts, changed this to "edge" trigger. The kernel then reports 3 spurious interrupts (1 per card, I presume), then aborts some scsi command due to timeout, resets the scsi bus, then enter an endless loop timeing out and resetting. The abort message is "aborting command due to timeout: pid0, scsi0, channel0, id0, lun0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00". I have also created the boot floppy (rescue disk) from the CD and tried to boot from it with the same results. I have just downloaded from the ftp site the rescue disk image, on the off chance that there have been changes (but this looks unlikely - the CD image is 1.3.1 and the directory and time stamps look like mine). I have also checked the FAQ and scanned the currently open bugs lists to no avail. Any thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated. --- Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
