Hi All
I run into the problems trying to install Linux Slackware rel 3.2.0 on
machine with DTC3280 SCSI controller card using kernel made especially for it
(other kernels give the same results). During the boot system did not recognize
partitions. After booting from floppy I checked for partitions dump on sda by
running fdisk, x, d and got very very strange effect.
Whole image was shifted by 1 or 2 bytes to the left or right (number and
direction change every time the systen boots). Two last bytes of sector
were also corrupted.
I know exactly it's not hardware problem - everethihg runs just fine in DOS
and Win95.
Does anybody know about any patch or options for dtc3x80 driver.
