Hi,
I'm trying to get a working elf kernel on a couple of Dell 4560/XE Pentium machines that have Adaptec 1542 and Pro Audio Spectrum-16 SCSI cards in them.
They once had working kernels in them, but I'm not sure if the guy who worked here before me modified his own kernel, or if it used to work in earlier versions of the slackware kernel.
When I try to load the kernel I configured, I get the following error:
aha1542.c: interrupt received, but no mail.
This error was produced from line 423 of the scsi driver aha1542.c. I didn't think looking over the code would do me any good since I know little about scsi and writing drivers, so I tried other boot disks from slackware and redhat. The errors I got from them are below.
I am totally lost at this point and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Mike Connors http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu
These are the errors that I get when I try to boot using the scsinet1 boot disk from slackware 3.0

I got similiar errors when trying to use Redhat's boot0022.img disk. I then tried the aha-pas.ker kernel from redhat. It seems to load ok, but then panics when it tries to mount the root file system. Here is the output from when the redhat kernel was loading:
