The kernel loading gets stuck with errors from the aic7xxx driver, which keeps timeing out querying the bus looking for non-existant drives, and when it finaly tries to query a drive that exists it claims to see bus errors. End result is that Linux 2.4.8 never mounts any drives or finishes loading. The system is an IBM 704 with a built in adaptec aic-7880U controller, with two drives on first scsi buss. 2.2.18 has no problems with the adaptec controllers, but has other issues, which seem to be timer related. _ / \ / ascott@casdn.neu.edu / \ \ / / \_/
