hello, have a sun workstation and decided to install debian etch on it, everything goes fine, i installed 2 different kernels linux-kernel-2.6.15-1-k7-smp and linux-kernel-2.6.15-1-686-smp, when any of that kernel boots it hangs up several seconds during scsi probe, kernel finds scsi host 0 controller ,after that drops to shell (busy box shell) because kernel cannot find the sda1 (the root file system), while im on the shell kernel finishesthe probe of scsi host controller 2 and finds the sda, then i press ctrl+D to make the kernel to continue boot seq. , everythig goes fine, the computer boots normally. there is SunOS already installed on my workstation, i think SunOS uses linux kernel and trace the probe of scsi host, see that SunOS kernel finds both scsi host controllers in a second, the kernels without smp work fine. how can i solve that problem? also i am noticed that my scsi hardisk seem to be little slow for scsi disks.
hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 226 MB in 3.01 seconds = 75.09 MB/sec is it normal ? thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
