Hi Will,
I forgot to include my network card in the list below.
***DIGITAL EISA ETHERNET CONTROLLER DE422-SA (IRQ 5)***
I also found a C code file aha1740.c (for the kernel)
which contains that kernel panic error:
...
351 if (ecbno >= AHA1740_ECBS)
352 ecbno = 0;
353 do {
354 if (!host->ecb[ecbno].cmdw)
355 break;
356 ecbno++;
357 if (ecbno >= AHA1740_ECBS)
358 ecbno = 0;
359 } while (ecbno != host->last_ecb_used);
360
361 if (host->ecb[ecbno].cmdw)
362 panic("Unable to find empty ecb for aha1740.\n");
363
364 host->ecb[ecbno].cmdw = AHA1740CMD_INIT; /* SCSI Initiator
Command
365 doubles as reserved
flag */
366
367 host->last_ecb_used = ecbno;
368 restore_flags(flags);
369
370 #ifdef DEBUG
371 printk("Sending command (%d %x)...", ecbno, done);
372 #endif
373
374 host->ecb[ecbno].cdblen = SCpnt->cmd_len; /* SCSI Command
Descriptor Block Length */
375
...
As far as I know, this file is used to build the kernel.
