Re: Alpah Server 2100 SCSI error.

[Mike Smorul <toaster umiacs umd edu>]

You will need to recompile your kernel. The one on redhat's doesn't like the 
2100 scsi setup. The defconfig in linux/arch/alpha is a good starting point. 
The smp stuff in the 2100 is a bit tricky, I haven't gotten that working yet, 
but UP should work for you.
