Hello all. I'm trying to get Debian 3.0r1 working usefully on a MIPS-based Seagate (Cobalt) NASRaQ. The system uses the same processor as the Qube 2 and has an integrated 53c860 SCSI controller, which would appear to be supported by no fewer than three kernel drivers! I'm compiling the kernel source available at ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/kernel/test/linux-2.4.20.tar.gz WITH Paul Martin's tulip and PCIfun patches applied. I should mention that the stock 2.4.20 source with the debian kernel-patch-2.4-cobalt package applied to it presented numerous problems and I had to give up. The problem is that upon boot (or module installation), I get similar messages from all three SCSI drivers. Examples: sym.0.8.0: IO region 0x10102000[0..127] is in use or ncr53c8xx: IO region 0x10102000[0..127] is in use On boot, the boot process just goes on, but no 'scsi0 blah blah' printout occurs, and nothing is printed about a tape drive I have attached to the machine for testing. When installing as a module (only tested with sym53c8xx driver) the module installation fails and a message like above is printed to the serial console. Doing a 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' yields Attached devices: none no matter what. Does anyone have any suggestions? We'd really like to modernize the NASRaQ and still be able to use its SCSI port.
