Hello,
I'm trying to install RedHat 5.2 on a system with Symbios 53C896
controllers (Rev 1) on the motherboard (Intel SC450NX). The system has
two Seagate ST34501W drives (wide ultra) on a hot swap back plane (the
backplane is also a SCSI device).
When install mounts the disks, the ncr53c8xx driver hits this assertion
multiple times.
assertion "target == (cmd->target & 0xf))" ncr53c8xx.c line 63.
There are also a number of other warnings and fix ups that make it look
like communications aren't quite right. The partition tables can't be
read right, so I can't continue the install.
I tried playing with BIOS stuff, but I couldn't get the assertions to go
away.
Is there a driver command line option that might get around this?
I know there is a newer version of this driver with support for the
896. Would that fix this? How would I find or build a Redhat install
floppy with the newer driver?
I could add a drive on the older fast narrow SCSI controller and boot
from that. But that would be a lot of cost and work just to get through
an install.....
Thanks,
-Dan
