Hi again!
I followed everyone's wonderful advice and read all the faqs and howtos which everyone so cheerfully pointed me towards and I upgraded to all of the versions in Documentation/Changes file. Thanks very much.
I'm still getting the same SCSI CD error that I've been getting ever since I installed the Slackware distribution many moons ago. (1 moon = 1 kernel release.) It happens only when I'm attempting MONGO copies or finds on the CD. The CD spins down, then:
scsi0: AM53C974_abort called -- trouble starts!
followed by a register dump. Once I almost lost my hard drive because I was copying to it when the error happened. Yikes!
I am running Linux 1.3.100, and all of the latest and greatest in the Changes file. I have a Toshiba CD-ROM XM-5301TA, on an HP Vectra XU 5/120c. The AM53C974 host is integrated onto the motherboard.
Also, is 7.5M big for an uncompressed, running kernel? When I first login as root, before I fire up X or anything else, free tells me that over 7M are being used. I only have 16M total. Is this excessive?
Thanks, Scott Miller stmiller@crosslink.net
