I've tried all the kernels but its all the time the same: The kernel boots
until the lines

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
SCSI ID 7 Clk 40MHz CCF=8 TOut 167 NCR53C9XF(espfast)
esp0: FAST chip is Emulex FAS236 (family=2, version=3)
ESP: Total of 1 ESP hosts found, 1 actually in use.
scsi0 : Fastlane SCSI
scsi: detected total

The last line I got only with the 2.4-test4 kernel! After this the cursor
blinks all time in the next line AND (I forgot this) my power-led blinks
regularly!!!

Yesterday I tried something: Due to the fact that my fastlane ROM is
selfmade and only 200ms (should be 150ms) and my old ROM did not work with
the 060, I installed the old one again, disabled the CDROM within AmigaOS
and tried it again - the same procedure as every time }-[ !

BUT

I recognized that without any SCSI-HW connected to the fastlane the kernel
boots completely and the installscript tells me that it could not find SuSE
CD 1 in drive (no drive given of course)!!!
Maybe that will help a little!! The FASTLANE code does not recognize SCSI-HW
connected to the FASTLANE!!
Today I'll try to give the FASTLANE some RAM and try booting again!

Thanx again and if I should try some new kernels: Now prob!
Bye
