A3000T: Kernel 2.4.0-test9 working?

[Reinhard N. <rn...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've successfully installed Debian Potato some days ago and was now going to
compile a recent developer kernel. I've got the 2.3 module via cvs as
mentioned on the web site and successfully compiled a kernel.

I've started the kernel configuration from scratch, so it could be that I
forgot some essential options.

My first problem is, that when I enable PCI support for Permedia2, the kernel
stops after the first heartbeat (bootmesg indicates, that the kernel was
started), with no output on console.

When I disable PCI support, I cannot use CVPPC and therefore open the console
on my CV64/3D. There I get the following lines:

	Non-serviced A3000 SCSI-Interrupt? ISTR xxxx

where xxxx changes from 64b1 to 44b1 then to 4b1 and finally to b1. Each value
remains stable for about a second or two before the next value appears. The
last value stays constant forever (<= 15 min).

A note on the message frequency: my console is 1280x1024-8 and I can see max.
two of the above mentioned values on the screen at the same time.

Finally: has anyone such a system up and running with a recent cvs kernel (e.
g. from today 20:00)?

Can anyone send me a .config file for an A3000T with CVPPC?

Is this a known problem and has anyone an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Bye.
