Linux 2.4.20 + SiS + Adaptec AHA-7850

Linux 2.4.20 + SiS + Adaptec AHA-7850

[war]

Does not work...
Boots up, probes each ID, fails, takes 15-20 sec per timeout for each ID,
then actually does boot after (15-20sec)*7ID for that board.

I used same exact (SCSI-CONFIG) for VIA board, worked fine, guess there
are problems with IRQs or something?

I'd send log/more information but don't feel like writing 10 pages of text
down to send to lkml.

Can be you are running into some problems with irq-routing and SIS chipset. Try
acpi-patch from sf. It worked for me.

Stephan

Very unlikely I guess, though I cannot comment on the reasons. At least I can
find no stability issues. But it looks very invasive...

But you should not have problems patching 2.4.20. It runs quite straight forward.

If you are using SiS SMP boards or have built for local apic support it
will fail with most SiS boards. Linux and SiS APIC don't get on with one
another (we trigger a chip quirk). Boot with "noapic" option if so.

2.5.x does handle this
