| |
I have acquired a digital RZ56, which seems to only want to do synchronous mode. With synch disabled, aha152x refuses to even talk with the drive. With synch enabled, I manage to detect the drive and boot normally, but the first time I write to it (to write the partition table from cfdisk) the system hangs completely. I thought I'd try 2.2.5ac6 to see if this might help, since I noticed in ac5 a fix for the system hanging in aha152x. However, this did not help. Still hangs.
And yes, I read the part about synchronous mode not being ready yet in the comments in aha152x.c. But if the RZ56 really only does synch, I have no other choice but to try it.
So if anyone could help me with either of the two following problems, I would appreciate it very much:
- how do I put the RZ56 in asynch mode? (or can it even do asynch?) - how do I get aha152x.c to stop hanging the system when it writes to the RZ56 in synch mode?
