From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <000701c10782$96a31e60$0401a8c0@trex> From: "Jeff Rugen" To: Subject: RTC and SCSI for PowerStack/2.4.6 Kernel Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2001 00:49:58 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I've finally gotten a 2.4.x kernel to boot on my Motorola Powerstack (100MHz 604), but I'm having two problems. I haven't found any info about them searching the archives, so I'm wondering if anyone has seen/resolved the problems I have, or can direct me to more information. First of all, the boot hangs when executing /sbin/hwclock. I have (or maybe 'had' now) the real-time-clock built as a module (in drivers/macintosh/rtc.o), but the only thing I determined before commenting out that line in rc.sysinit was that the machine hung when reaching that point. Is anyone successfully using the realtime clock on a Powerstack with 2.4.x, and if so, is there anything in particular that needs to be done/patched/whatever? /sbin/hwclock is from util-linux-2.10m-7c. Second, I am getting SCSI timeouts when running 2.4.6. I don't know enough about SCSI, but the log to the console is the following: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 0x 2a 00 00 0c 40 18 00 00 08 00 ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=4257 serial_number_at_timeout=4257 scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 0x 2a 00 00 0c 40 48 00 00 08 00 ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=4258 serial_number_at_timeout=4258 scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 0x 2a 00 00 0f 40 58 00 00 08 00 ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=4259 serial_number_at_timeout=4259 scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 0x 2a 00 00 11 40 10 00 00 08 00 ncr53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=4260 serial_number_at_timeout=4260 When booting, the SCSI device is recognized as: ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 12, function 0 ncr53c8xx: 53c810 detected ncr53c810-0: rev 0x2 on pci bus 0 device 12 function 0 irq 15 ncr53c810-0: ID 7, Fast-10, Parity Checking Which leads me to believe that I at least have the correct SCSI driver build (NCR53C8XX, as the revision of 0x2 is less than the 16 that Configure.help seems to indicate). Should I instead be using the 53c7,8xx driver? Or the sym53c8xx? Thanks for any help. Jeff ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
