If you're using the easy binary installer, perhaps it simply wasn't built with support for that controller? I ran into that on an old Proliant - the panic was perfectly explained when I realized it didn't have the 53c8xx driver built in, and a suitably adjusted build fixed it right up. Speaking of rebuilding xen0/xenU kernels, what's the suggested procedure to get to the point where one can "make *config" to make changes? I may have overlooked it, but what I ended up doing, almost accidentally, was interrupting the xen0 build (I must have pushed the wrong button, but my notes are unclear at this point), then clean and *config and after that it worked very nicely indeed. But slowly, which reminds me to ask if the Xen build has a toggle for using both of the CPUs - on a single PII/450 the pair of kernels took around 50 minutes. -- The phenomenon of financial excess associated with promising novel technologies is a recurring feature of the last two centuries. -- Andrew Odlyzko ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
