I've built 2.1.116 on two machines. One with A BusLogic BT-950 SCSI
controller and the other with a DPT SmartRaid IV SCSI controller.
The machine with the BusLogic controller comes up o.k. The machine with
the DPT SmartRaid IV fails during boot with the following message.
...
RAM disk driver initialized - 16 RAM disks of 4096K size
Md driver 0.36.6 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
Eata_dma: trying to reset HBA at fcb0 to clear possible blink state
HBA at 0xfcb0 does not react on INQUIRY. Sorry.
Scsi : 0 hosts.
Scsi : detected total.

<eth0 stuff>
...
Partition check:
Request_module[block_major_8]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 08:01
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01
...
At this point the system just hangs there. I press <CTRL><ALT><DEL> and
I get:
Disabling symmetric IO mode... ...done
The system then reboots.
Any pointers as to how to resolve this problem would me much
appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help provided and once again for
help provided in the past.
