MESH not found with 2.4.1 on 7500

Hi,

the current 2.4.1 can not found the mesh scsi controller on my 7500/100.
It doesnt work with bootx and boot fd:vmlinux.coff.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Hmm, I will try without the loop device, but I guess that will not help.
If I use a ramdisk I get the attached output.

As far as I can tell, your kernel is not getting that far.  Before MESH
message output, you should have something like:

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00

which is missing.  On my system, there is IDE related messages immediately
following the loop device message, and it's followed by (old) adb mouse
driver and PPP device message.  SCSI is after all of those.
