misc. posters pointing out trouble with dual boot
Thanks! I got a 3Com905B for the Linux server, drivers
seems to work (no second box for testing yet). However,
the other machine is an ATX NT/Linux dual boot, and I
might switch several times daily, so I decided to heed
Because of all the trouble I had with my ISA SMC's, I am
considering the, ahem, cheap way out and get me new
Ethernet boards. I have been offered twisted-pair (RJ)
only PCI boards, 3Com 3C905B-TX, which I map tp
10Base-Tx, Cyclone B revision, aka `Boomerang', aka

This is almost surely not Debian specific, but there is
not USENET feed here in Ireland that I'd have access to,
so please bear with me.
I am trying to Ethernet-connect two i386, a P133+AsusPT4XE
and a K6-2/300+AsusP5A. The former has been tried with
Debian 2.0r1,r3 and some slink snapshots,
Not Debian only (was an issue with rescue problems, though).
I have a SCSI setup that runs perfectly with kernels
like 1.3.88. It includes an Adaptec 2940 UW, BIOS v1.23,
1996 (PCI), and an IBM DORS wide SCSI disk.
Repeat: the hardware worked for months,
this is NOT a cable/termination
I combined a 2.0.27 kernel with a 2.0.11 scsi folder,
and solved my problems for now. It seems that those
kernels that work access the wide scsi disk with 10.0 MHz,
while those that fail insist on accessing with 20.0 MHz
as scsi-2. In addition to a picky aic7xxx driver that
declines to fall back
Jason Costomiris ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) thought it appropriate to state:
I found a statement in the december RedHat (4.1?)
claiming that some, but not all Adaptec have problems
since 2.0.12.
Hogwash.
To set the record straight: it´s in RedHat 4.0, in the unsupported
i386 images section. It
As Bruce Perens pointed out, rescue is indeed mountable as
msdos fs, and replacement of the kernel is straightforward.
Somehow I managed to overlook that fact in all the docs.
Anyway, I got the base install done. For anybody having
trouble with Adaptec boards, too: I used 1.3.88 (no

FWIW, I use a 2940UW as well, and all the troubles that I have had
that I thought were device or kernel problems, turned out to actually
be bad cabling and/or termination.
The hardware works fine with 1.3.88 up to 2.0.0. It does not work
with 2.0.25 and 2.0.27 under my current installation, and
The current resque disk does not work with my
Adaptec 2940 UW. This does not surprise me,
as none of the Kernels above 2.0.12 (up to 2.0.27)
I tried did work. An small remark in a README in
an otherwise useless RedHat stated that Adaptec
support is partially broken since 2.0.12.
