Firstly am unable to upgrade OS d/t hardware/software installed being end of life.
I have a Sparcstation 5 running SunOs 4.1.4, with various hardware on 1 scsi card, external drive on the other. Need to add dat drive on scsi card with external drive, scsi id's are unique, dat drive terminated.
recompiled the kernel after adding code for dat drive in st_conf.c and stdef.h, used boot -r and booted with new kernel, dat drive can be seen and works fine..however everything on other scsi card can now not be seen ( error is /dev/shmem SCSI link down, open failed etc etc ). Tried procedure again and this time to make vmunix asynchronous I did the following.
adb -w /vmunix
scsi_options?W 0x58
^d
Booted using boot -r
Exactly the same outcome, dat drive works fine but you cannot see anything on the other scsi card.
Am I overlooking something simple..any ides would be much appreciated.
