| |
Just tried to boot 2.3.33. Unfortunately enough, the gdth driver does not work for me. I have the root fs on a scsi disk plugged into the GDT6117RP controller so I can't use that kernel at all.
The beast did actually boot for the first time and oopsed when I did try to "cat /proc/scsi/gdth/0". Mea culpa, I did not copy the oops from the screen by hand thinking that I'd better point my syslog to another machine to get the oops logged. Unfortunatelly, it didn't work - kernel now oopses when initializing the adapter outta initrd, oops goes off screen and console is locked so no scrollback available... That's why I can't give an oops trace...
Kernel is built fully modular (all scsi layer is modular, ide too) with gcc-2.95.2. The use of kgcc-2.7.2.3 does not cure the problem. The system is double Xeon/550 with 256 Mbyte RAM. Sure, kernel is built SMP. 64 Gbyte RAM support is turned on.
I'm ready to make any test required to get the gdth driver fixed. Any ideas?
