I have Tulip tr486dx-2/e-66 computer. This is a 486/DX2 66 MHz EISA
machine and I am attempting to configure Linux (redhat 4.1/Linux 2.0.30)
This is an older machine just retired from duty as a Novell server which
I want to set up as a Linux box. I have had no problems setting up other
machines (various hardware configurations) with Linux.
Boot from floppy is fine but generic kernel image does not see AHA-1740.
Autoprobe fails (SCSI Hosts:0 SCSI total:0)
Attempts to subsequently probe for 174x or to specify base address for
SCSI device later at 0xCC000 give "Could not find device anywhere on
system".
According to the SCSI howto DOS debug dump follows:
