Hi All,
I have been having problems installing Linux and I am wondering if anyone
has gotten Linux up and running on a system with the same SCSI controller
as I have.
System configuration:
486dx2 66Mhz
Relialogic XL-525 VLB SCSI-2 Controller
Micropolis 4110 1GB SCSI Drive
System setup:
The controller is at BIOS address 0xc800 and I/O port at 0x160
The controller is at SCSI ID 7 with the HD at ID 6
The controller is using IRQ 11
Problem:
I have been attempting to install Linux from the Slackware
installation disks, most recently version 2.0.1. I have tried the
scsi (kernel 1.0.9) and the modern (1.1.18) installation disks with
no success. The basic problem seems to be that Linux will not
recognize my controller, or recognizes it but doesn't know what to
do with it.
When I use <ncr5380=0x160,11> or <t128=0x160,11> to force it to
detect my controller, I get the following:
scsi0 : at port 352 irq 11 options . . .
scsi0 : Trantor T128/T128F/T228
scsi : 1 hosts.
scsi0 : warning : SCSI command probably completed successfully
before *
The last line there, the warning, then is printed out over and over
forever.
Thanks for the help
