720/50 SCSI - supported?

Hi,

after successfully cross compiling a kernel, I have a problem!

The initial bus scan seems to see the scsi controller:
model 00002000 00000481 00000000 00000000 775e3623 000011f4 00000004 0000000d
00000000

vers    00000003
CPUID   vers 0 rev 0
model   9000/720

led_init: CPU_HVERSION 200
Searching for devices in PDC firmware... processor hpa 0xfffbe000
an older box...
Found devices:
1. Cobra Core BA (11) at 0xf082f000, versions 0x4, 0x0, 0x70, 0x0, 0x0
2. Cobra Core SCSI (10) at 0xf0825000, versions 0x4, 0x0, 0x71, 0x0, 0x0

but the driver seems to have a problem here!

Is this a known problem ?

thanks,

Ni, I don't know this problem. The only problem I had was with the floppy in
my 720. One command is not supported (or so, I have not debugged it). For the first tests I disconnects the SCSI cable from the floppy interface card
to be able to boot faster, as the SCSI driver does retries.

Cheers

[blablabla] :)

seems to be the same problems I have with my 730 ...
... nearly exactly the same messages and behaviour.
Since the 720 and 730 have similar hardware AFAIK, it
could be the same problem. Unfortunately I'm not a kernel hacker nor I have the time (because I'm working currently on my final diploma documentation).
It doesn't matter wether a scsi floppy is connected or not, btw ...

someone told me that it is known; it's because of the broken ncr700 support on 730 machine (and perhaps 720 also)

greetings, max

well, that was wrong ... se my last message!

greetings max

How recent is your kernel?

Can you send a complete bootlog please.
