Subject: Compaq Deskpro 386/20 & Linux ?

Hiyo,

I got a prob with my Deskpro 386/20: I can't install Linux.
After checking all the hardware I have (2 serial, 1 parallel,
AHA1542B, Conner 200MB SCSI) the kernel tries to reset my
harddisk controller and fails. This it does in an indefinite loop.
Any controller I care to try (AT-Bus, MFM ...) produces the same
effect. On a NONAME 486 with AT-Bus HD it works just fine.
Has anyone encountered similar problems or is anybody running
Linux on a Deskpro 386/20 already ?
Please help me.
