Has anyone had any luck with the P55T2S MBs and current kernels?
I just installed Picasso on one, using one of the 1.3.57 prebuilt kernels. I then tried to compile 1.3.100 to use the box's 3c590, but every time I try to boot anything but the 57, the box crashes and reboots.
I can get to the SVGA menu ok with a vga=ask argument on the LILO prompt, but after selecting the video mode it writes the `booting the kernel' line. Then the screen clears for a second or so. At that point it reboots. Booting w/o vga options is the same.
The box has a pair of 16x32 60ns SIMMS, and I've tried all of the bios settings that seemed relevant. Turning off the external a/o interal cache was unhelpful.
The interesting thing is that I had earlier been able to boot the box using a 1.3.98 and then a 1.3.100 on the (LOADLIN based) boot floppy, but the ramdisk always failed. I was therefore forced to use the prebuilt 1.3.57 to do the install.
Thoughts? Comments? Insights? Anyone?
