Hi,
I've been asking if I should boot with the BT-kernels if one owned a
BusLogic 445S.
People said: "yes, it works for me".
So I just tried it with both the GAMMA and the RELEASE kernels.
I doesn't work for me.
I'm getting all devices nicely recognised, but when the kernel changes its root
device, it goes:
ISA strayintr 7.
Now the system has a printer connected, and notices lpt0 on intr7. But it
doesn't matter if the printer is on or off. The intrupt keeps coming.
The system is dead after that notice. :-(
Is the interrupt what I think it is, just a "printer glitch"?
So how come the AHA kernels don't suffer from this?
What else can I do to get the BT-kernel booted.
Thanx,
WjW
