[ cc'd to -alpha for broadcast ] The problem was one of the following two problems: 1. The Qlogic SCSI controller being booted from does not work if it is not in hose 0 (upper left, looking from rear). 2. If the QLogic SCSI controller is the 'bridged' DEC part (i.e., the part that has a 21150 bridge and the QLogic behind that), booting doesn't work. I'm not sure which, if any, it really is. I'm inclined to think that #1 may be broken for -current because hose 1 has the EISA console, and that there might be some funny interaction ther. I'm inclined to think that #2 might be broken period for -stable because we don't have clean hose management in -stable, IIRC. -matt > On Fri, Apr 06, 2001 at 11:18:01AM +0000, Wilko Bulte wrote: > > As for testing: has AS4[01]00 been tested succesfully?
