Due to some routing issues I would like to switch to kernel 2.4. I'm not a kernel hacjer but I have already installed it on two nobrand boxes (one with redhat 6.1 and the other with mandrake 7.2). With netserver the problem I think is the allocation of PCI resources. Maybe is the 450NX chipset the cause of the problem. After having ercompiled and installed yhe new kernel during the boot I recive some messages like: PCI: cannot allocate resource region 0 for 0:1.4 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 1 for 0:1.4 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 2 for 0:1.4 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 0 for 0:1.6 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 1 for 0:1.6 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 2 for 0:1.6 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 0 for 0:1.7 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 1 for 0:1.7 PCI: cannot allocate resource region 2 for 0:1.7 device 4 is an ethernet adapter while device 6 and 7 are (according to lspci of kernel 2.2.18) the two scsi channels. there are 2 other network adapters on 0:2.x (which I think is the other pci bus) but they are not mentioned during 2.4.3 boot. To make things short and quick after these messages the controller give me a message of CACHE FAILED and doesn't recognize its devices, so that the kernel doesn't find the root partition. What do I miss? Do you have notices of a Netserver lh4 running a 2.4.x kernel? Any suggestion is really welcome. I can post my current kernel config, any output I can obtain from a 2.2.18 kernel (which is still running at the moment). Thanks in advance, gianpaolo racca gianpaolo@preciso.net
