I installed Debian using a pre-compiled set of disks made especially for the Adaptec 2940 SCSI card, and now I am trying to make a custom kernel. I know what I'm doing, but I can't figure out which options to choose during 'make config' to get a working kernel. I've tried several permutations. Here's what happens:
When I boot with the precompiled kernel and its starting to deal with the SCSI bus, it says: (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code . . . 419 instructions read then it boots fine When I boot with my custom floppy: (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code . . . 406 instructions read then it reports a parity error and falls into an infinite failure loop Can anyone tell me which parameters to choose during 'make config' to fix this? There are three questions that come up when I choose the AIC7xxx driver. I've answered yes and no to overriding driver defaults, yes and no to verbose error reporting, and tried 5 and 15 second waits after resetting SCSI bus. What am I missing?
