Hi, Fred!
Nice to here that your Amiga is working again! I`m working on the 53c770
driver and I got some successes.
I have reworked the driver to the newer ncr53c8xx version and got the
cachetest and the irq-assignment working. Also the scripts are patched to
get the LED working and 4k on-chip RAM is used.
If no scsi-device is on the bus, the kernel starts and you can read out
some information in /proc/scsi/53c770. But if a device is connected to
scsi, the scripts-part of the driver detects the scsi-device and then it
hangs at some point after detection. It`s realy difficult to get out where
the problem is...
Before I reworked the driver to the newer one, I have worked on your
version and got the same problem!
The newer ncr53c8xx driver uses some 'mad' memory-management routines,
which is not corrected for APUS for now. I have only done some 'dirty'
hacks on memory-management for APUS, because I don`t want to waste my time
on this.
If you are interested, i could send you my version for testing. It also
were be nice, if you have the time for also working on the driver.
Since I had a crash on my APUS-box lately, I must rework some stuff on an
older version of the driver... I need a few days.
The cvs contains only your old version.
Ciao, Renè
