Hi,
Still trying. Results so far:
. Kernel-2.4.9-6SGI_XFS_PR3 either with or without the 'apic' option
results in scsi timeouts. This kernel originates from the 'testing'
area. I have transferred/cloned a full production system to a 1200 to
test it.
Better use the 2.4.9-13 kernel for Red Hat Linux 7.2 since it also plugs a
few security holes.
. The installer for Linux-XFS 1.0.2a _does_ boot with the 'apic'. I
reported it didn't before but I must have done something wrong.
Automagic.
Problem is I don't want to do a full install from scratch on this system,
so I'll try to update my kernel-2.4.9-6SGI_XFS_PR3 install to the newest
kernels from Release 1.0.2a and then transfer it to the 1200 again.
If the system boots with an older kernel you should be able to do a rpm
-ivh kernel-2.4.9-13*.rpm to get it installed.
PS. Sorry for posting this with Outlook, but I do not have any choice at
the moment. :(
It's plain text, that is good enough.
