Hello-
I've been trying to get 3.1 or 4.0 to run on a Compaq Professional Workstation
6000 with dual PII-300s, using the built-in symbios 53c875 SCSI controller, and
the built-in "ThunderLan" ethernet adapter. The machine works perfectly with
2.2.8, but we'd like to get it running 3.1 (or 4.0 if necessary) to take
advantage of the second CPU.
We have been able to complete a make upgrade with freshly cvsupped 3.1 source,
to the point where the new kernel boots. While booting, the GENERIC kernel
does not find the ncr or tl devices, and of course fails to mount root. I'd
include dmesg from those boots, but it doesn't get far enough to write it
anywhere. The new bootblocks seem to be working fine, and are able to boot
the kernel, but it fails with a "cannot mount root" message and then panics.
We then tried to boot with the 3.1 and the 4.0 boot floppies. Neither was
able to find the SCSI controller or the ethernet device. Of course, we find
it odd that 2.2.8 found the devices ok, but newer releases do not. As far
as I can tell, the hardware is supported by CAM, etc. (I have a Tekram 390F
53c875-based card in another 4.0 machine that works great). The installs
failed with the complaint that no disks could be found to install on.
A search through the mailing list archives yielded little information that
still seemed relevant (apparently, the tl0 driver wasn't around in 2.2.6 or
earlier but that obviously changed before 2.2.8).
I've included the 2.2.8 dmesg output below. I'm hoping that someone out there
will see something in them that I cannot and will provide us with the magic
incantation needed to get this thing running 3.1 or 4.0. Our suspicions are
on the PCI bridge, since both the unfound devices are on pci bus 1, while
the detected devices reside on bus 0, but we don't know what to do about that.
By the way, the unidentified storage device that doesn't get a driver assigned
on pci1:10 is a Jaz Jet card, apparently with an Advansys chipset, that 2.2.8
doesn't grok, but 3.1+ should find ok. It doesn't get detected by 3.1 or 4.0
kernels either.
Thank you in advance,
-Ben
