Hi Brian, Hi Linux-Alpha gang,
I still can't boot my Alpha (now tried with 2.4.0-test4) and getting the
SCSI reset loop when booting. (Ruffian Board, sym53c895 scsi controller).
Brian: Did you found allready a fix or workarround?
Linux-Alpha Gang: Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have
succsess with a simmilar configuration? It seams like the problems started
with 2.3.47 ...
