- My .97pl5 won't boot. My configuration:
-
- i386dx/33mhz
- 8mb ram
- adaptec 1542b with 3 disks on the scsi bus
- plain old (noname) VGA
-
- I took the complete .97pl3 as found on tsx-11 and applied patch4
- and patch5 with no rejects. I compiled it under .97pl4 with
- gcc.2.2.2d with no problems. So far so good. It loads normally (from
- fd0) initializing serials, sockets, mouse etc. The 3 scsi disks are
- correctly identified, and the last message I get is this:
-
- scsi: detected 3 SCSI disks 0 tapes 0 CD-ROM drives total
-
- and it just hangs there. I can switch VC's but no disks are mounted
- and no logins appear. Pressing <Ctrl-ScrollLock> gives:
-
- Task-info:
- 0: pid=0, state=0, father=0, child=-1, 2592/2592 chars free i kstack
- PC=00000000
-
- Pressing <Alt-ScrollLock> gives:
-
- EIP: 0008:00039890 EFLAGS: 00000286
- EAX: fffffffd EBX: 00000020 ECS: ffffff97 EDX: 000000a1

- So, what could be wrong? I did specify /dev/sda2 as root in the makefile.
- I will try and get the distributed .97pl5 source and compile that, and if
- can find a precompiled bootimage, I will try that also.
