Hi,
I am running two distributions at the same computer.
Pentium 166, 64MB RAM, Adaptec 2940 SCSI pci,
One IDE Disk 340 MB and One SCSI disk 2GB.
The linux distributions reside at the SCSI disk.
I run both linux with loadlin from MS-DOS.
First one is Caldera CND 1.0 with Kernel 1.2.13.
The second one is Red Hat 3.0.3 (Official) which I
did upgraded to kernel 2.0 in accordance with the
instructions I found the the red hat web site.
The extrange fact is that since I have the Caldera
distribution it have never failed with the 2940,
however the Red Hat distribution has experienced
several "minor" advices about "out of phase of
hard disk or so". I say "minor" because I used to
do a hard reboot when I got a lot of messages and
normally the second time it tries to start it
starts ok.
I am a newbie to linux but what I do not understand
is that if the driver for the 2940 works fine with
the kernel 1.2.13 how is that it does not work
properly with a newer kernel.
I will appreciate if anyone can give me any hint
about which could be the problem, if any. I do not
feel like going back to kernel 1.2.13 with my
Red Hat 3.0.3
