Hi!

I got a new machine today, a HP Netserver 5/133. It has a PCI/EISA 
motherboard and a onboard AIC 7770 controller. I installed 2.1R using a 
boot floppy and the CD without any problems. After installation I sup'ed 
stable and did a "make world", again without problems.

After that I tried to build a new kernel... took the GENERIC config file 
and removed all unused lines. The newly build kernel didn't boot... it 
couldn't mount root. Obviously, the probe for the ahc - device didn't 
find the chip. I booted the old kernel.GENERIC and made a new (stable) 
GENERIC... which failed to work, too.

I don't like the idea to remove the stable src-tree and replace it with 
the old one from the CD, but I don't want to run a production system with 
all this junk in the kernel...

Ideas, anyone?

Martin
