I posted sth. similar some time ago, now once more again ... :
=============================
Conf.:
486/33 16MB
SCSI AHA1542B 240+520
WD16 / 8390 (@super.*)
(Linux-0.99p7 + 8390.6)
=============================
0-99p7 is totaly unusable for me -- 'efsck' reports *lots of* inconsistencies
immediately after a write access to my FS ...
(like 'cp -rva /usr/bin /tmp')
I had this problem some time ago, but it disappeared when I was using Donald's
8390_WD_Driver (up to 99p6) ... But NOW it does *not* !!!
I read a similar posting in the NORMAL (?) channel, it seems to me as if
I'm not the only one with this kind of trouble (this time) ...
As I remember this guy had to replace his 486 motherboard with a 386 ...
I only can say that the /same/ kernel is running just fine on my 386/40 (IDE).
I don't know if this is related to the EtherDriver again (I didn't plug out my
EtherCard) ... I'll test it within the next few days :-(
But why 99p7 ? What for hell has changed ??? Linus ... ??? :-)
Any suggestions ?
(I'm sure that there's not even a single problem concerning
o IRQs
o SharedMem, IO-Base, ...
)
0-99p6 is runnnig fine ... (including TCP/IP)
I used the same setup for 99p7 as for 99p6 before !
Bye ...
