Worth attempting an Ultra 30 install with 1.1???

Worth attempting an Ultra 30 install with 1.1???

[Rick Richardson]

Subject says it all.  Is 1.1 (from the mirrors) ready to be installed via TFTP
on an Ultra 30, or should I wait for awhile?

It should work.  There were a few reports with boot loader problems,
but these few cases were curable just by moving simms around and a fix
will be available soon.

Incidentally, I tried 1.1 on 2 different Ultra 30's yesterday. It worked
on the one with a single ncr53c8xx (875, IIRC) and 2 disks on that. I
also tried it on one of the machines we have with 3 ncr53c8xxs (file
server configuration, raid arrays on 2 of the ncrs) and it identified 3
scsi hosts and got unhappy, didn't boot further, and started getting scsi
errors. This was both with the raid arrays attached, and with nothing on
the second two controllers (e.g. using only the internal).

When I finish using the disk on the machine I have it attached to now,
I'll try to collect the errors.
