[parisc-linux] 9000/730 booting but SCSI Problems (mke2fs)

[Jeff Arthur]

After help form Christoph Plattner I resolved my init 
problems, and got a prompt!! 

(Thanks Christoph, I had the problem you 
described a couple of builds earlier so 
recreated the problem, applied your fix and it 
worked a treat)

however I now have a problem with SCSI, all 
devices are seen ok, have removed cdrom as I 
noted in some earlier posts that this could 
cause problems, but when creating filesystems 
the SCSI dies.

I have tried a couple of drives, boot log looks 
fine.  Any Suggestions or is this just down to 
lack of docs in this area, as I noted from posts 
back in Feb?
