Hi,
My Dec Alpha (Alcor) runs fine with 2.2.20.
With 2.4.20, it fails during boot at the init. of the scsi-devices.
Error is:
CACHE TEST FAILED: dma error (dstat=0xa0).sym0: CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED
I tried a kenel with: NCR53C8XX and SYM53C8XX compiled in, and I tried
a kernel with SYM53C8XX support neither of them work. Both give same error.
What can be the cause of this?

Please give 2.4.20-ac1 a try. It includes the CIA-1 fix that prevent
Alcor machines (AS500 and co) from working.

That one introduces a new problem:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/data/src/linux-2.4.20/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes

`/data/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/pci/devlist.h', needed by `names.o'. Stop.
In .depend I had to delete the reference to devlist.h and classlist.h.
Dirty, but it made the compilation go on.
