Looks like my previous post didn't make it. trying again ...
Hi,
I have a redhat linux 9 (2.4.20-8) and I have compiled
2.6.10-myversion of linux kernel. While booting, 2.6 based kernel
panics and I suspect that it might be SCSI driver/module problem. With
2.4.20-8 kernel these are the messages I see in dmesg file (grep -i
scsi).
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8
<Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter>
aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
scsi0:A:1:0: Tagged Queuing enabled. Depth 253
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
(scsi0:A:1): 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit)
SCSI device sda: 35843670 512-byte hdwr sectors (18352 MB)
While booting with 2.6.10-myversion of kernel, Vendor, ANSCI SCSI
revision, Model fields displayed are all blank. aic7xxx.o module is
printing some errors about not being able to memory map a device,
failed probes for a device etc. Does anyone know what the problem
might be ?
When I did lsmod when 2.4.20-8 was running I do see aic7xxx, sd_mod
and scsi_mod modules in the list. I am pretty sure that I have
compiled aic7xxx for 2.6.10-myversion but I don't see scsi_mod.o and
sd_mod.o in /lib/modules/2.6.10-myversion/kernel/drivers/scsi/
directory. Is that a problem ? How do I include them in the kernel or
compile them as modules ?
I have followed all instructions from this URL
