I have Debian with the 2.1 kernel running fine on a Sun SparcStation 5. When I put the 2.2 kernel on it, the SCSI bus continuously resets itself. My configuration is as follows.
Prom: Pilot 2.15 RAM: 128M SCSI: Seagate st-15150 in 411 case, id 3 CD-ROM Sun cd in 411 case, id 6 id's 0,1,2, 4 & 5 are 2.1G differential drives in an external tower with a converter from single sided to differential. Video: CG6 Type 5 keyboard and mouse. Solaris 2.51, 2.6, 7 and Debain with kernel 2 .1, boot, load and run just fine with this configuration. When I try to upgrade, or do a fresh install of the Potato version of Debian, the SCSI bus resets continuously and will not run. I removed the differential tower, did a probe-scsi-all with the new drive configuration and there was no change in the error message. When I tried installing from the cd, the SCSI bus was constantly resetting, then said the CD was not available. I changed CD-ROM's (thinking I had a bad or dirty drive), but kept getting the same result. I even copied the distribution on to a drive in my stack to conduct an upgrade. All programs upgraded normally and ran fine, until I installed the new kernel. The error message was SCSI bus resetting waiting for message. SCSI sector xxxxxx not found, resetting. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks, Curt
