Hi,

I am having problems getting 2.0.34 to boot:

(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Scanning channel for devices
(scsi1:0:-1:-1) Scanning channel for devices
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Bad scbptr 255 during SELTO
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) References SCB 255 not valid during SELTO
SCSISEQ = 0x12 SEQADDR = 0x9 SSTAT0 = 0x15 SSTAT1 =
0x88
scsi : detected total.

... then later (after network and ppp has been initialized) ...

Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:02
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Bad scbptr 255 during SELTO
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) References SCB 255 not valid during SELTO
SCSISEQ = 0x12 SEQADDR = 0x9 SSTAT0 = 0x15 SSTAT1 =
0x88

What seems to be the problem here? The machine:

HP NetServer LH100 (Pentium 100MHz)
32 MB Ram
Aic7855 controller, driving:
Quantum XP345550J Hdu
HP C1533A Dat
Toshiba XM-5401TA Scsi Cdrom

The machine ran almost rocksolid under 2.0.33, except for some strange
lockups. Out NT-Admin had the same 'lockup-problems' and it helped
when he changed the DAT.

Could it be the DAT which is causing problems here?

I have reverted back to 2.0.33, but I'd gladly supply you with any
information you might need.

Best regards,

Brian
