Hi All,

after experimenting around for a while I'm clue-less how to solve
the following problem.

The machine is a Pentium-133, 32MB RAM, ASUS-Board (don't know the model-id
right now) with 2 NCR controllers, 2GB IBM disk, hp DAT, 7 Teac CDROMs
running 2.1.5-RELEASE.
I generated a kernel with firewall enabled, superfluous devices disabled
and some params tuned (I can send the config file on request).
After the problem occurred I tried different combinations but to no avail.

When I boot it finds the 1st NCR, all the devices, the 2nd NCR, the
error message and goes on with the ISA devices.

The GENERIC kernel correctly continues:

In the beginning I found that the CACHE TEST FAILED appeared when
SCSI_DELAY=15 was NOT in. After putting this option in it detected
all devices on the second SCSI bus, however it panicked after
`changing root device to sd0a'.
I further reduced the configuration and now I get CACHE TEST FAILED
with SCSI_DELAY=15 included!
(What cache, what script ???)

Since I know for sure that the provided information is not what is needed
and the important information is missing, any response that helps me to
find out what goes wrong is appreciated.


Thanks,
Robert
