From: Michael Peddemors To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Evolution/0.13 (Preview Release) Date: 15 Nov 2001 13:53:54 -0800 Message-Id: <1005861234.9918.806.camel@mistress> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-AntiVirus: scanned for viruses by AMaViS 0.2.1 (http://amavis.org/) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org It may be an esoteric problem in my config, but I installed a RedHat 7.2 onto an Adaptec (It was strange, I could install one out of 3 tries, but rebooting into the 2.4.7-pre that ships with RedHat it got to unloading free memory, paused about 2 minutes, the the screen rolls with unable to read device messages) 3200s/quantum combination, but it gives me read problems on the device, with anything more than 512 MG RAM. Thought it might be kernel related so tried a freshly rolled 2.4.14 kernel, and it fails to mount the root point /dev/i2o/hda1 (kernel panic, cannot mount 5001) Hardware has mostly been ruled out, as we replaced the motherboard/and controller as well as the mundane cables and terminators... Is anyone successfully using 2.4.14 on an Adaptec 3200s controller? This could be a PCI issue, because just we see a lot of interrrupt activity on the card just before it dies.. Am not using modules, compiled the i20 support directly into 2.4.14 Wanted to get some serious 2.4.14 testing on this platform.. so no suggestions about rolling back to 2.2 series.. :) -- "Catch the Magic of Linux..." -------------------------------------------------------- Michael Peddemors - Senior Consultant LinuxAdministration - Internet Services NetworkServices - Programming - Security Wizard IT Services http://www.wizard.ca Linux Support Specialist - http://www.linuxmagic.com -------------------------------------------------------- (604)589-0037 Beautiful British Columbia, Canada - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
