[Aurora-sparc-user] RE: Aurora-sparc-user Digest, Vol 37, Issue 7

[Douglas Cox]

Mr Gaskins --
     Thanks for the quick reply.  You are quite correct, I did know that the 
sparc5/170 was not supported, although I had read a couple of recent posts 
indicating that aurora was running pretty well on that architecture.  I 
really began to suspect a driver problem when I experienced the kernel panic 
on the SS4 after loading the qlogic module with the drives installed on that 
machine.
     As I said, the raid array appears to be working fine in debian on the 
SS5.  Do you think there's any way to use the array with aurora2.0b2 on the 
SS4?
Thanks again!
Doug Cox
