Hi! I can no longer boot with the current kernel (self-compiled) as it oopses on startup. I can't post the oops as it is not fully visible on screen and I can't scroll back after the crash. The oops happens after the SCSI host-adapter is recognised (tcmscim, type: DC390). I also found out that without initrd image this oops does not occur. Exchanging the tcmscsim module with AM53C974 removed this problem (this driver works apparently better for my host-adapter.) With tcmscsim the host-adapter is recognised as Tekram DC390/AM53C974 (Actually a DawiControl DC2974 bootable Fast SCSI Controller), with the other driver it is recognised as AM53/79C974 PCscsi.
lspcidrake lists it as tmscsim : Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]|53c974 [PCscsi] [STORAGE_SCSI] while lspci lists it as 00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 53c974 [PCscsi] (rev 10). Please change the default driver for this host-adapter to AM53C974 or else I get a crash/ooops after the next 8.2 (beta) install :( Regards, Reinhard -- Software-Engineer, Developer for Embedded Devices Project: Pertergrin, a role playing game system GnuPG Public Key available on request
