Date: 30 Apr 1996 19:06:44 +0200 Organization: Lullaby of Birdland Lines: 29 Message-ID: <4m5hb4$592@birdland.rhein-neckar.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: birdland.rhein-neckar.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi! I just installed 2.1R on a new machine, a HP Netserver with 133 Pentium and a PCI/EISA motherboard. The SCSI-Controller in a twin AIC 7770 onboard controller. The system booted without any problems from the boot floppy, I installed the system from CD. After this, I sup'ed -stable (took 5 hours) and did a "make world"... again, no problems. After this, I made a new kernel (took the _new_ GENERIC and removed everything I don't need). After installing the news kernel, machine doesn't boot any more. The SCSI-controller is no longer detected. I booted the old kernel.GENERIC and made a new GENERIC from the sup'ed config file. Unfortunately, this kernel doesn't boot, either. There are no boot messages about detecting any SCSI-controller or devices, so mounting / failed. I added "prompt PROBE_VERBOSE" to the config-file, but gained no additional information. Ideas, anyone?
