1. Slackware 2.0 Mitsumi CD-ROM & Adaptec SCSI controllers
Hi all,
This maybe an old issue but I just bought the Walnut Creek Toolkit for
Linux 2 CD-ROM distribution containing Slackware 2.0 Linux. I have a
486DX2/66 VLB system with an Adaptec 1540 2 SCSI drives and a Mitsumi
2x CD-ROM. No IDE drives. The package comes with a few kernels
configured for different hardware configs. I picked the SCSI/Mitsumi
CD-ROM kernel.
The problem I'm having is that no matter what the IRQ for the Mitsumi is
set up as, the kernel want's it to be IRQ11. The default (and only
working IRQ) for the Adaptec is IRQ11. If I set the Adaptec at a
different IRQ than 11, the kernel reports the correct IRQ that I've
set it to but hangs probing the SCSI bus. When the kernel see's the
Mitsumi board it assigns IRQ11 to it. If the Adaptec is at 11, well
you get the picture. The only way to get the kernel to come up with
the Adaptec and drives recognized is to remove the Mitsumi board (or
change the base address which causes the kernel not to recognize the
board).
Is there any way to get this thing to come up with both units recognized
and in a way that I can load linux off of the CD-ROM?
Hardware:
Intel 486DX2/66
VLB/ISA MB AMI BIOS (HiNT chip set ?)
16MEG RAM, 256K External Cache
Adaptec 1540 SCSI w/ 2 SCSI drives (/dev/sda1=180meg and /dev/sdb1=1.1gig)
IDE Cntrl. (w/ HD disabled) as a floppy controller (1.44)
Mitsumi 2x CD-ROM with Prop. Controller.
Sound Blaster 16
3C503 Ethernet Board
2 Serial 1 Parallel 1 Game port board
VLB Genoa SVGA card w/ 1meg RAM (uses National Semiconductor Chip ?)
15" SVGA Monitor (1024x768 NI).
Thanks in Advance!
