Hello, since my E3500 and E450 started working mostly fine, I installed Linux on an E3000. Here is the first problem I encountered. I successfully installed Debian Lenny with 2.6.26 kernel, later compiled yesterdays 2.6.29-rc6+git. Both kernels have the same problem - on shutdown, scsi disk goes offline like in console log below. This is repeatable and happens every shutdown so far. There are 2 SCSI disks on ESP controller (builtin ESP on SBus IO board), sda is system disk, sdb is not used. sda (18G IBM) has so far worked fine otherwise. sdb had problems that are probably firmware-related - PROM errors out finding it and booting from it (something along the lines of "unexpeted message 2") but once Linux is booted, it can use the disk fine (netbooted installer installed linux first on this disk successfully). sdb is not mounted though and is not in use. Another quirk with the machine is that PROM reports TOD on clockboard is dead and it's using TOD from IO board. This does not _seem_ to coause any trouble but is noted here for completeness - that is, I'm not 100% sure the hardware is OK but I do not see something directly related to the problem. Here are the console messages from 2.6.29-rc6+git: 3,0>ERROR: TEST=NVRAM Devices,SUBTEST=M48T59 (TOD) Init ID=8.1 3,0>Component under test: Board 16 Firehose Bus 3,0>TODC battery is low bit set Detected failed TOD on clock board.
