Hallo, problem #1 I'm trying to install Linux on a 43P 100. At the moment it is running LinuxPPC R4 with kernel 2.1.125 .
Now I'm trying to install something newer, I looked at LinuxPPC R5/1999, YDL CS1.1 and Debian, but I can't get a working kernel. All 2.2.x I have found do not handle SCSI adapter (ncr53c810-0 ?) well. Symptoms 2.1.125 runs scsi0 : ncr53c8xx - revision 3.01 - Good 2.2.x run scsi0 : ncr53c8xx - version 3.2 - Bad Boot message difference is just a little line that tells: ncr53c8xx: reallocating io_port (Wacky IBM) just before detection of the submodel (?) 2.2 kernels either hang or detach the adapter, leaving me with a non installable system: no CD, no HD. Can someone discover what changed from 3.01 to 3.2 and try to fix it in order to have a working kernel ? I can manually copy error messages from the display, if needed. Any help appreciated.
