i also tried the aic7xxx driver that came with 2.0.33, and
the one that came with 2.1.82, same results.
The box is basically a mid-level server for a "small" office,
it's a tower cabinet with 6 hot-swappable ultra wide SCSI
RAID 0-5 trays, everything built onto the motherboard,
hardware RAID controller called ServeRAID (some kind of
PowerPC based thing with a couple megs of cache and
connected to a channel on an AHA-7880 chip) a secondary
ultra wide SCSI controller (AHA-7880) for an external chain,
100mbit ether (tulip), S3 TrioV64+ with a few megs of RAM,
USB's, SMP capable CPU daughterboard with one PPro (512k
cache) and socket for another one, up to 1 gig EDO ram. Said
daughter board can be swapped for ones that hold multiple
Pentium II, etc., and probably some of IBM's proprietary CPU's.
Sort of the MIS dept. nerd's gleaming vision of a home PC.
He'd have to put in better video, of course.
But, the only unices i can get for it are SCO and Solaris,
both needing drivers and patches from IBM. i fervently hope
there's some chance of running Linux on it, since i've
used Linux in production capacities since v.9X.
i looked into the various BIOS screens, and it turns out
the "unknown PCI device (1014:2e)" message means the RAID
controller.
Built to run NT. i don't want to run NT.
