Re: Trouble booting 9.2 on Alpha Jensen



Hi Jason,

I have made some builds and I see the following:
02/08/2021 sources (9.99.87) are booting fine, but 09/08/2021 (9.99.88) fails to boot.
If you have the time to have a look at what has changed that would be awesome.

Happy New Year,

If you can configure the SCSI controller to have a LEVEL-trigger IRQ, then that will work around the bug in the “ahb” driver that is causing the interrupt storm that hangs the machine.
