Hi all,

I read this thread about booting a PowerStack with newer kernels. 
Motivated by this, I tried to compile a 2.6.10 kernel on my machine (with 
sym53c825a onboard). Sadly, the scsi controller always timeouts during 
initialisation. I 

I also have some strange issues with network support using the standard debian
2.6.8 kernel. ifconfig upping the decchip ethernet on the powerstack freezes
the kernel, and i hear reports of problems on IBM PReP hardware too with not
working ethernet, altough there is no freeze.

Any idea on this ? 

Does it contain the IRQ patch? Where does it boot from SCSI or net? What
PCI-Devices are installed?

Probably not, just the standard debian kernel, i donÃ't remember any irq
patches, but there where a bunch of patches from leighbb. it is done
netbooting, and the only pci device installed is the cirruss logic graphic
card.

I use an older patched 2.6.8 debian kernel. It works fine here except
that I can't insert the eepro100 module via /etc/modules on boot because
some times it crashes on module insertion (or on ifconfig via init
script - I don't remember exactly) and sometimes not. Therefore I do it
by hand after boot up.

Can you mail me the patch in question, or better yet mail it to the bug report
about this ? 287933@bugs.debian.org
