I'm using the debian potato for Prep (http://www.debian.org/~porter/). The installation and boot are ok. The problems are : 1- Universe VME driver. I have used these drivers : http://lisa2.physik.uni-bonn.de/~hannappe/software/index.html http://www.vmelinux.org/ - The first could be loaded but when I'm looking at /dev/vme_stat the informations are bad (fffffff ...) - The second don't load and return me an error with PCI_ID So I had decided to try the MVME2600 kernel image of Gabriel Paubert, this one don't boot (PC keyb error, there is no keyboard controller on the mvme2300! ). Seeing that, I try to compile a new kernel using the kernel patch created by Gabriel Paubert, and the second second problem appears ! 2- SCSI drivers. I'm using a Technobox 2044 PMC (ncr53c875) as SCSI device. The kernel provided by Debian see well my SCSI device. When I want to compile a new kernel using the NCR53c8xx driver, this one don't seem to see my SCSI device ( the scsi driver is compiled in the kernel and not as a module). The only message I have is : scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. And I should have that : ... ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 16, function 0 ncr53c8xx: 53c875 detected ncr53c875-0: rev=0x04, base=0x2ffeee00, io_port=0xfffde00, irq=25 ncr53c875-0: NCR clock is 40218KHz, 40218KHz ncr53c875-0: ID 7, Fast-20, Parity Checking ncr53c875-0: on-chip RAM at 0x2ffed000 ncr53c875-0: restart (scsi reset). ncr53c875-0: Downloading SCSI SCRIPTS. scsi0 : ncr53c8xx - version 3.2a-2 scsi : 1 host.

I had tested differents configurations of the scsi drivers and low SCSI NCR53c8xx driver : No way ! How can I do to make my MVME 2300 work with Linux ?
