| |
I have a SPARCstation 2 and I have been unable to get 2.2.x to boot on it. I've tried both 2.2.1 and 2.2.7 with the same problem:
esp0: IRQ 3 SCSI ID 7 Clk 20 MHz CCF=4 TOut 167 NCR53C90A (esp100a) ESP: Total of 1 ESP hosts found, 1 actually in use scsi0: Sparc ESP100A (NCR53C90A) scsi: 1 host esp0: Warning, live target 0 not responding to selection
This last message repeats ad nauseum and the kernel never gets past that point.
Here's what happens after the "scsi: 1 host" message under 2.0.35:
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 scsi: detected 1 SCSI disk total esp0: Disabling DISCONNECT for target 3 lun 0 esp0: target 3 [period 208ns offset 15 4.80 MHz synchronous SCSI]
The kernel then boots successfully.
So, why does 2.2.x get hung up on probing target 0 when target 0 doesn't even exist? And what is different about the SCSI setup in 2.0.35 that lets it get past that point? I would REALLY like to fix this problem. Please cc all replies to me directly.
Thanks, Max
