I'm building a new debian machine out of scavenged parts.
i've put together an old EISA 486-66 with 8MB with:
- 810MB EIDE on ISA Cirrus Logic 2MB SVGA combo card (Promise IDE chip)
- EISA Adaptec 2742 SCSI controller
- Quantum 4GB Grand Prix drive
- EISA 3Com Etherlink III
It detects the AHA2742 OK, and then just after printing a message about
EATA_DMA not being supported it kernel panics with the following message:
aic7xxx: (aic7xxx_isr) Encountered spurious interrupt.
scsi0: BRKADRINT error (0x1) Illegal Host Access
Kernel panic: scsi0: BRKADRINT, error 0x1, seqaddr 0x0.
I've tried booting with various command line arguments, but nothing makes
any difference.
It boots OK if I remove the SCSI controller, so I should be able to get
debian installed at least (the IDE is going to be the boot disk, the 4GB
Quantum is for a squid cache drive)
I'm going to have to recompile the kernel after that...i haven't worked with
EISA stuff much before, any suggestions, DOs, DONTs, etc would be
appreciated.
Anyone encountered anything like this before?
I notice that there's another thread on a similar topic at the moment, with
the kernel locking up just after the EATA_DMA message. I tried the
suggestions in that thread (i.e removed the ethernet card) but it makes
no difference.
