Re: AlphaPC+Sym53c8xx driver failure--solved!

[Kelledin]

Problem solved, thanks to Jay Estabrook from the debian-alpha
mailing list.  As one might guess, it turned out to my My Own
Damn Fault(tm)--I configured the kernel for LX164, then left out
"Use SRM as bootloader" because I wasn't sure I'd need it.

One thing I might change about the documentation for "Use SRM as
bootloader"--I'd probably have it mention that it should be
checked if using SRM, plus any boot loader besides MILO.  I
wasn't quite sure what it meant (silly me)--now I know better.

it still cost four figures to fix?"
