LILO: can't boot kernel with Adaptec 2940 driver
Symptom:
After the start of Linux via LILO the machine hangs during the
initialization of the harddrive (ID0). However it is possible to
start Linux via the bootdisk (that was delivered with the distribution)
without any problems.
Cause:
The BIOS settings of the controller are not yet configured correctly.
Solution:
If you have an Adaptec controllers of the type 2940
and a BIOS version
1.23
, it helps to switch off Sync-Negotiating
in the BIOS
of the controller
