I recently compiled the the Linux 2.2.1 kernel, but I can't get it to boot
because when it is booting it aborts the reading of the harddrive that
contains my root partition.
I have a PowerMac 7600/132
I have two internal scsi devices and one external scsi device. The
internal ones are a Quantum Fireball with scsi id 0, and a CD Rom drive
with scsi id 3. I also have an external Jaz drive with id 4. (it is on the
other scsi chain)
Here is what happens:
It detects two scsi chains (it may call them hosts). One is MESH, the
other is that weird numbered one. At any rate, they correspond to the
internal and external scsi stuff.
It says:
scsi host 0 aborted
(or maybe it's "scsi device 0"). It recognizes the other two devices just
fine, though.
This also happens with the precompiled 2.2.0pre-2 on linuxppc's ftp site.
The only recent kernel (ie kernel that can be booted with bootx) that has
worked for me is a precompiled 2.1.131 kernel.
I have tried compiling the kernel with the maximum scsi reset time (20s),
and with asynchronous transfer only, and none of it works.
Any suggestions, patches, etc?

I sent this before, but I haven't gotten any replies yet... Do *any* of
you know what this might be?

Could you try the kernel (vmlinux.gz) in
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/linux-pmac/test/
and let me know if it does the same thing?
Paul.

Same error--it says "MESH: host 0 Aborted"
I have a MESH driver for my internal scsi chain. It does recognize the
cdrom (the other device on MESH). and the my jaz drive, which is on the
other chain.
I am using BootX. I couldn't get Boot Variables working again (I have my
root on the first device, which also holds my primary mac partition).
A 2.1.131 kernel does work.

I have the same problem (aborting MESH target) on my

Is there anything I could help with?
BTW, vmlinux by Paul displayed only the welcome line. 2.2.1 boots
further (until failing on MESH) only after adding #ifdef __SMP__ /
#endif to arch/ppc/kernel/head.S (lines 1208/1212).

I used to have the same problem on my first-gen. G3 tower when I used to boot
with a floppy/OF combo and 2.1.24. When I switched to BootX (thanks a billion,
Ben H.) + 2.1.125 (and 2.1.130 and 2.2.0 consequently), the problems
disappeared.
