Were you also enabling bigmem support? Try MEM=4096 in your boot string and see if it starts booting OK. * Which gcc version * Please also try aic7xxx_old |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: I recompiled the kerenl source from kernel-source-2.4.17-0.rpm by building aic7xxx driver into kernel (used by root fs). I did this to avoid initrd (which has another problem in boot when devfs is enabled). The aic7xxx driver can be loaded during boot, and the scsi chan are dicovered, but the boot image fails to attach the scsi disk thus cause the boot failure. The messages printed out in console is like: ....
