Hello!

I have tried the BETA 1.3 kernel on my i486.
[ASUS SP3G, On-board NCR-SCSI, PCI, ISA]

I get this at boot:

ncr0:4:ERROR (0:0) (4e-e3-28) (0/0) @ (Script 1dc:00000008).
ncr0: script cmd = 820a0000
ncr0: regdump: ca 00 00 13 47 08 00 1f 35 00 80 00 80 00 0f 02.
ncr0: have to clean fifos.
ncr0: restart (fatal error).
sd0 (ncr0:0:0) 10.0 MB/s (100ns, offset 8)
sd0: could not mode sense (4/5); using fictious geometry
sd0(ncr0:0:0) could not get size
sd0: dos partiond I/O error

The cool mutliplatform OS works on an Intel P100 with NCR scsi contoller.
 From the same disk!
There is no Dos partition on the disk. Only / and swap.

Please notify me when I can download a Kernel that will work.
