Hi,
I have a Buslogic 946 PCI card and 2 Connor 1080S 1G Drives.
I have the PCI bios assigning irq 11 to the card and all the card
testing and probing and DMA transfer tests work fine. I have used
the drives heavily with an adaptec ISA card so I know it is not a
problem with them. When linux is starting up it detect the PCI
card and displays all the info about it. It then detects the
both SCSI's and displays all the info about them. Then it fails
and I get a kernel panic. Here is the exact start-up messages,
scsi: Detected 2 SCSI disks total
sda : Unsupported sector size 0
scsi: Deleting disk entry
sdb : Unsupported sector size 0
scsi: Deleting disk entry
and then goes on to add the network card and finish that rest
of the sequence and then gets to the partition check and says
Kernel panic: No device passwd to allocate_device()
and it halts the machine. I compiled the kernel with every
SCSI driver there is as well as SCSI debug and the kernel
works fine with the ISA card and the drives and I haven't changed
any termination or even changed the cabling. There is a network
card on irq 10 but the ISA is set to irq 11 and I am getting no
conflicts there. I have also tried this on different motherboards
so it might be something on the cards bios or the motherboard bios
i am leaving out....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks,
