YosWinK, Brian, J-S, |

thank you for your responses. I tried out the various suggestions |
| 4 |
and here are the observations |

this did not solve the problem, the REJECT messages were still |
| 10 |
coming as before. /proc/pci shows |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 2) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
while the patch suggests (rev 1). maybe that is why this does not |
| 15 |
work ? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Suggestion from J-S on commenting out the part checking for WIDE |
| 18 |
mode actually worked. The REJECT msgs were no longer appearing and |
| 19 |
the system was able to boot with UP-kernel |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
tried compiling SMP with this driver change, still no luck. Fedora/ |
| 22 |
AlphaCore mailing list seems to suggest that they may have SMP |
| 23 |
working on 2.6. Any hopes of getting patches on to gentoo ? |
| 24 |
I am willing to try it out |

Brian, mentioned about a simple patch for DAC960 on 2.4 for firmware |
| 27 |
revision. I tried to compare the files from 2.4 and 2.6 and the |
| 28 |
relevant parts seemed same to me. Could someone post a patch ? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
so currently I am back to 2.4 (@233MHz, I need all the CPUs!) |
| 31 |
but switched to gcc-3.4.4-r1 and hit an issue, I will open a new |
| 32 |
thread for that |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
once again thanks for all the help |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
regards, Mathew |
