Hello, I'm not sure if this is has been a common problem, but I've been unable to locate any other information about it. I have a Diamond Fireport 40 dual controller and a couple basic scsi drives and a cdrom (I can get their stats if needed), and I'm unable to get it to boot correctly using the 2.2.x series of kernels. The system works wonderfully with 2.0.34 and 2.0.36. I have tried two methods of installing a 2.2 kernel. A) Downloaded the source and all the patches up to 2.2.4, successfully patched 'em together and used make xconfig. B) Picked up a cheapbytes Redhat 5.9 beta CD and tried the auto-install. with (B), the install system hangs attempting to detect the cdrom. It is able to find the NCR53C8XX chipset, but that's it. With (A), I've tried a number of ways, including Redhat upgrades, pure source upgrades, Debian kpkg upgrades. I'm afraid I'm probably missing some information in there somehow, because it always gives me the same result. Where the kernel normally (under 2.0.x) finds the NCR53C875 chipset, the 2.2.x kernels (I've tried each patch up to 2.2.4) all attempt to detect the NCR53C876 chipset. Then it resets itself (I don't recall the precise message, but I may be able to write it down), says something about loading scripts, and then repeats that process endlessly. Anyway, if there's a fix available somewhere, I've love to find it. No search engine seems to be able to find it. :) Any help at all would be appreciated...
