Hello Leonard,
I'm a fairly new Linux user. I got your email via the MAINTAINERS file.
I've got a machine that has a SYMBIOS
scsi host adapter on it and I'm trying to build a linux kernel that
understands it. The
Here is what I did,
1. Build a kernel with the CONFIG_NCR5C38xx set.
2. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64k
[ The disk I want to boot from is /dev/sdb. My PC boot disk is
/dev/sda which is on a an adaptec scsi host adapter]
When I tried to boot the machine I get the following messages on
my console:
-------
.
.
Loading aha1542 module
scsi: 0 hosts
/lib/aha1542.o : init_module: Device or resource busy
VFS: cannot open root device 08:05
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:05
.
.
-------
I'm not sure why it is trying to load the aha1542 scsi host adapter driver
module when I explcitly bound a NCR5C38xx driver module!
Any ideas or comments will be appreciated.
thanks,
Jim
