hi,

upon receiving some calls about the status on this issue, i decided to
update http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1494 , which i reported a
while back. yes, this is "just a PReP" and i am fully aware that PReP is
not used in recent setups any more and i too will not my PReP for HPC
applications. but perhaps someone has an idea about what's goin on here.

the bugreport should give you th full details, in short: linux 2.5.30 is
the last working kernel for ppc32/PReP with networking enabled.
(net)booting a recent 2.6 kernels spit out lots of these:

is it possible to use another irq for the network-device driver?
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt gives some options about other
drivers, but i can't tell how to specify "use this irq" for tulip/3c59x.

especially the "IRQ blocked by another device?" message makes me think,
that manual irq config could help here. but maybe i'm wrong.

the results posted on http://nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/2.6.10-rc2/ are
from current 2.6 kernels: the offical tree and the linuxppc25 tree was used.

thank you for comments,
Christian.

Hi all,

I read this thread about booting a PowerStack with newer kernels. Motivated by 
this, I tried to compile a 2.6.10 kernel on my machine (with sym53c825a 
onboard). Sadly, the scsi controller always timeouts during initialisation. I 
had this problem also with the 2.4er kernels, but this was solved in later 
versions (I'm running 2.4.21 now). Now the old driver seem to be removed (or 
merged with sym53c8xx_2) and is only available to MCA and GSC devices.

I also tried to change the irq routings in prep_pci.c like in the latest patch 
with the sym53c8xx_2 driver,
	Slot 12 -> IRQ 15 (sym53c825)
	Slot 15 -> IRQ 11 (dec 21140)
but this didn't helped.

Has anyone a working config file for this machine (PowerStack II 4000/Utah)?

Thanks

Marc

sorry, it should read:

and: http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/hal/daily/results/

>>>How does your boot.log looks like?

will show up in http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/hal/daily/boot/

sorry for the confusion,
Christian.
