Any reason why my Redhat-5.0 system, PC164, kernel 2.0.35,
AHA-2940UW, would get a kernel panic whenever I try to do a mkfs on
any SCSI drives? I maintain current RPMs via freshrpms, but I've
been burned...once, I ended up with a version of tar that coredumped
half the time, and the version of man that came with my system also
coredumped under certain circumstances:
man man
wouldn't work, but:
man /usr/local/man/man1/someprogram
would work.
I'm also getting tons of "unaligned trap" errors, and an occasional
memory protection error from bash, among other things.
What's up with all this? I'm assuming something is seriously wrong
with my system, because Alphalinux is supposed to be one of the most
mature linux ports around aside from intel, of course. This system
was going to be a fileserver, but if I can't straighten out these
problems(like formatting my new drives!) then I'll have to revert to
linux-intel :(
Has anyone successfully used raidtools and MD to do RAID-0 on an
alpha? Love to get some pointers.
Last question: where's a new version of MILO that plays nice with
2.2.5? I tried compiling 2.2.5, it went fine, but then MILO doesn't
load it successfully. It prints out a message about loading the
kernel, and the machine locks up solid. What am I doing wrong?
"Help!"
