it's ok for a mother bord Asus A8B-SLI deluxe with an AMD Athlon proc and sata

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 09:06:13 UTC
can you paste the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf here please ?


Comment 4 Laurent NEGRIER 2005-09-30 09:11:23 UTC
#cat /etc/modprobe.conf

alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd



Comment 5 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 09:54:03 UTC
upstream split this driver up. you'll need to do this..

1. rpm -e kernel-2.6.12-1.1528_FC4

2. edit your /etc/modprobe.conf
delete "alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih"

3. If you have a scsi drive/controller, add
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptspi

If it's fibre-channel, add
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptfc

4. reinstall the new kernel, and it'll build a correct initrd.

Give that a try, and let me know how it works out.

Had the same problem with FC4 on a VMware Workstation 5 instance (Guest OS).  I
made the suggested changes:

 1. Removed the kernel package
 2. Changed /etc/modprobe.conf:

     From -> alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih
     To   -> alias  scsi_hostadapter1 mptspi

 3. Reinstalled kernel package
 4. Rebooted

Works great now in FC4
