Subject: Re: [parisc-linux] Infinite error message from SDC driver on install

I have found that if I switch to a serial console that after a variable
(from 1 to 50) number of "Transaction add failed" error messages that a
timeout error would occur and no further transaction errors will occur.
This allows me to install Debian.
After installation if I continue to boot with a serial console then I
can boot the Debian installation. If I try to boot with the standard
graphics console, however, I have a new problem with the SDC driver.
During boot when the SDC driver initializes, it issues the following
message:
"HP SDC MLC: Registering the System Domain Controller's HIL MLC."
After the above message, the kernel hangs and booting is not possible.
I am at my wit's end with this one. I would really appreciate any
insight that could be offered.
Regards,
Kurt Fitzner
p.s. In case it is relevant, machine specs are as follows:
HP 9000 B132L workstation
128 MB RAM
Seagate 4.3GB drive on fwscsi.6.0
Panasonic cdrom on sescsi.3.0
No EISA or PCI cards installed.
