by I am having trouble with the 7890 controller. I installed the patch to
2.0.35 to red hat 5.1, and the driver worked great for a while. It found my
UW hard drive, my wide CD-ROM, and my narrow scanner. One day, it wouldn't
boot up anymore. It would give the following errors:
(scsi 0) BRKADRINT error(0x50)
Data-path RAM parity error
PCI error detected
SEQADDR=0x35
this would repeat over and over, but the SEQADDR would change to 0x1.
I am running an on-motherboard 7890 chip, the ASUS P2B-S motherboard. I
have the bios set to id #6, the hard drive to id 0, the cd-rom to id 2. The
scanner is always off when I try this. I tried booting with the scsi BIOS
enabled and disabled. I tried it with SCSI termination on and off. Every
few days it would work, but then won't start up again. I should have
recompiled the kernel without SCSI support and sought help. But now it is
too late.
What is wrong? I tried unplugging the CD-ROM and scanner, to no avail. I
am told that 2.0.36 would fix this, but, being relatively new, I am locked
out of my Linux drive (which is IDE, consequently, so I could bypass SCSI
altogether)
Is there anything I can enter at the LILO boot: screen to skip the scsi
detection and boot up, so I can install the new kernel? Help would be
appreciated. Is there a site that gives a list of LILO boot options?
