Every pmac version of 2.2.18 fails to boot. PCI devices installed, top to bottom, are: Adaptec 2940UW Farallon ethernet 10/100 OrangeLink firewire/usb combo Matrox Mystique card ixMicro TV card ixMicro Twin Turbo card [aka imstt] Removed all cards except 2940UW and imstt, and then tried the 2940UW in every slot. I've always had the 2940UW in the top 3 slots. This is the first time I've ever tried the lower slots. To my surprise, -neither- kernel works in with the 2940 in the lower slots, but it's because the 2940UW is not even -seen- there. Results: 2940UW 2.2.18 2.2.17 slot 1 x ok (imstt in slot 6) slot 2 x ok (imstt in slot 6) slot 3 x ok (imstt in slot 6) slot 4 * * (imstt in slot 6) slot 5 * * (imstt in slot 6) slot 6 * * (imstt in slot 5) slot 6 * * (imstt in slot 2) slot 6 * * (imstt in slot 1) [&&] The legend is: x: at boot, machine check (unknown value in srr1), kernel panic due to crash in ioremap when called by aic7xxx driver. *: 2940UW card not even recognized. IOW, no messages regarding 2940UW, boot jumps straight to detecting the internal and external SCSI, then cannot mount root device. This is the same result as when I leave the aic7xxx driver out of the compile. I've never been able to detect the matrox card in the lower slots where it normally resides. This appears to not be surprising. However, I've always had the imstt in slot 6, and it is detected fine. Clearly for now, my 2940UW must remain in the top 3 slots. If anyone has any clues on why 2.2.18 no longer works, I'd greatly appreciate it (wanting to get the Orangelink+USB going). P.S. to BenH: I sent you the complete MacOS name registry file for all 6 cards earlier today. I also have a name registry file for the case marked [&&] above, if it will help.
