Hi Geert
Is there anyone who is succesfully using SCSI devices connected to MESH SCSI
with 2.4.0-test1 (or late 2.3.99-preX, e.g. pre9)?
I do, everything is detected fine, I use
Linux version 2.4.0-test1-ac4 (root@ma1311) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024
(release/franzo))

The ac1 version I tried before worked aswell. dmesg looks like:

mesh: target 0 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
  Vendor: QUANTUM   Model: FIREBALL_TM3200S  Rev: 300X
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
mesh: target 1 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
  Vendor: MICROP    Model: 4345NS            Rev: x43h
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
mesh: target 3 synchronous at 10.0 MB/s
  Vendor: PLEXTOR   Model: CD-ROM PX-32TS    Rev: 1.03
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom 2 SCSI disks total.

Mounting a crdrom doesen't work for me either,
mount -t hfs /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom yields:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
       or too many mounted file systems

Cheers
Henning

Hmm... I just tried a kernel without support for my sym53c875, and that didn't
work either, so it's not a multiple SCSI adapter issue. During SCSI device
probing, it just waits 30 seconds and doesn't find anything.

The weird thing is that the MESH driver didn't change. Let's enable debugging
and retry...

fbcon-cfb8.c

Hi,
trying to fix my console character displayment I wonder whether I'm
looking at the right place ?????
When in the console with 8bpp, fbcon-cfb8.c is the driver the kernel uses
right? Not the tdfxfb driver for the card?

Cheers
Henning

Tdxfb is accelerated. So unless you disable acceleration, it uses the
operations in fbcon_banshee8 in tdxfb.c:

    info->dispsw = noaccel ? fbcon_cfb8 : fbcon_banshee8

Thanks, if I simply make it call fbcon-cfb8 no matter what the font
appears correctly. So I guess what I have to acctually do is to fix the
'do_putc' and 'do_putcs' functions in tdfxfb.c to diplay BIGENDIAN
characters correctly.
That's what your nibbletab_cfb8 does in fbcon-cfb8 right?

Yes. Perhaps the graphics accelerator has a flag to specify to use big endian
mode, and this flag isn't set?

Yes.
