    I've got the IntraServer SCSI controller model ITI-6101U2W.
    I really do not understand why I am getting the above error message.
    The RedHat-6.2 stock kernel 2.2.14-6.0smp boots OK.
    Kernel 2.2.15 which I compiled myself is detected OK, but I get
    SCSI error giving me a kernel-panick:

    ================================================
    sym53c895-0 on-chip RAM at 0x109002000
    CACHE TEST FAILED: scrip execution failed
    start=fffced08, pc=fffced08, end=fffced28
    CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED
    sym53c895-0: giving up
    ===============================================

    Kernels 2.2.16 and 2.2.17pre7 are not detected with the SRM-console
    message.

    Does the location of the file in a big / partition matter?
    On an Intel-based box, we know it matters.
