Well, scsi is happier now. The messages above are expected, and test 1 passing means the scsi chip can access memeory ok. > scsi0 : LASI/Simple 53c7xx > scsi0: Unable to abort command for target 0 > scsi0: Unable to send Bus Device Reset for target 0 > scsi0: Unable to do SCSI bus reset > scsi0: >>>>>>>>>>>> Host reset <<<<<<<<<<<< > scsi0: could not halt NCR chip, stage 0 > scsi0: Unable to abort command for target 1 > scsi0: Unable to send Bus Device Reset for target 1 > scsi0: Unable to do SCSI bus reset > scsi0: >>>>>>>>>>>> Host reset <<<<<<<<<<<< Those messages might be caused by an unterminated scsi bus, or by a problem with interrupts. The network problem still looks like interrupts from the 82596 are disabled somehwere and not getting to the processor. Still seems likely to me that the kernel is not enabling some interrupts properly for the 710 bushmaster machines. Anyone on the list got a similar machine working? The h/w database lists quite a few people as owning one of these boxes. My 715 now works as far as scsi and network are concerned, but (a) I have to disable nscd, (b) tar hangs, and (c) I have disabled parallel port support. nscd and tar both seem to go in to a loop calling sched_yield() from libc.
