Ok, I have been using a kernel I downloaded around Feb 1 for awhile now, as
I can't get anything more recent to work with my hard drives.  As far as I
can tell, they are plain old run-of-the-mill SCSI hard drives.  I've been
trying to get a more recent kernel, because the one I downloaded Feb 1
doesn't work with my keyboard.  Since I started with the official 1.1
kernel, I was able to get a couple of serial port logins working, but I
really kind of need the adb keyboard working.

So, I set up sup about 2 weeks ago and started trying to recompile the
kernel about every 2 days, after supping the changes, hoping a newer kernel
would help.  Well, it does in the sense that the keyboard now works, if I
boot to single user mode, or if I go into the monitor (debugger?).
However, I have gotten a wide variety of responses to my SCSI drives since
I started with the newer kernels.  The latest kernel I tried was supped
last night.  Here is a snippit of the console output when I try to boot
with it:

ncrscsi0 at mainbus0

Automatic boot in progress: starting file system checks.
/dev/rsd0a: file system is clean; not checking
/dev/rsd0g: file system is clean; not checking


At this point, it hangs.  No debugger, no nuttin.

Something tells me that this isn't right... ;-)

The scsi_inqmatch lines started appearing about Friday (2/16/96).  Before
that, it would either crash into the debugger, or hang before mentioning
/dev/rsd0g.

Anyone got any ideas?  I am running this on a Mac IIx with 8 mb of memory,
the three drives mentioned above, (sd0 is split into 3 partitions, 1 mac, 1
/, and 1 /usr) while the other 2 are single partition drives.

The drives worked beautifully with the 1.1 kernel, and with kernel sources
downloaded about Feb 1 (maybe 2).  I wasn't using sup then, so I downloaded
the tree off of puma, I believe.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
