#1 lore raw

Hello !

For the SCSI I have nothing fixed !
It works out of the box.

I have not sent any patch. I only tried it and it works.
So to all PA-RISC hackers, add the TRAP 18 there in the main stream !!

Ok, wonderful that your machine is also booting that way...

With friendly regards
Christoph

Hi there,

I had already success with rbootd !

brilliant. It's pretty striaghtforward (when you know how!!)

Here the kernel I always boot, and I can see the scsi disk !

excellent! thanks for this.
What needed fixing to get scsi to work?
have the patches to fix the scsi been comitted ?

co-incidently as of about 10 minutes ago I finally got the box to boot! (yay!) with a kernel I built after adding the case 18: to trap.c

Do you know why this has not been comitted?
I added the extra case 18: to my linux-20010117.tar.gz and it works, but I checked out the latest source archive and the fix is not in there.

thanks again,

Damian

Yes, and no. we need a proper trap 18 handler that checks to see whether it's a page fault or a misaligned data reference, and calls the right handler. This should not be too hard to write, but i don't have time right now.

#3 lore raw

Is it not possible to add the entry in the meantime with the well-known big triple X

	/* XXX hack.... */

for those people doing the first hackings on such old machines ? Of course, some of these points will be forgotten....

I have not enough skills at the moment. I don't know the PA-RISC arch here good enough, and I also have to deal with the low level kernel code around the PA RISC here.

Cheers
Christoph
