Hello! I recently crashed the root partition of a hamm station. Fixing it, I installed several packages, also kernel-image package.
The system was not able to boot anymore. Trying to come into the system, I tried Debian 1.3 boot disks and some newer disks (20-2, 20-3?). All disks hang after detecting Adaptec aic7xxx scsi devices, with or without aic7xxx=no_reset. I don't remember how I was able to boot from CD and install hamm (had problems then, but I was able to do it), but obviously the disks are/were not working with the current system (we installed a few more cards and a SCSI CDROM Writer after installing Linux). The system is a SCSI only, two 4GB disks, one CD ROM reader and one CD ROM writer. Adaptec 2940 AU controller. Well, the solution was to compile a new kernel on a different system to be able to boot in the system. As Adaptec Cards are common in Germany, this should be fixed (if at all possible). I can try fresh boot disks, but not before thursday. Thank you, Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
