This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release After talking to the bug poster in separate email, it was found through testing that the following change: Can you recompile an aic7xxx module and test it for me? If so, then go to line 9438 in the function aic7xxx_configure_bugs(). Change it from: case AHC_AIC7890: if(pci_rev == 0) { p->bugs |= AHC_BUG_AUTOFLUSH | AHC_BUG_CACHETHEN; } to case AHC_AIC7890: p->bugs |= AHC_BUG_AUTOFLUSH; if(pci_rev == 0) { p->bugs |= AHC_BUG_CACHETHEN; } and see if that doesn't solve your problem. Did indeed solve the problem. This is being integrated into CVS as of Mon Feb 26th and will be in the next release following RC1. Ugh, still seeing this in 2.4.2-0.1.19 although it's harder to trigger. Doing a test hard drive install yesterday triggered it extensively throughout the install (reading the cd images off of scsi drive, installing to a test partition on the ide drive). New ideas? aic7xxx_new is the next option. See if that works better for you (in the latest ISOs we should have aic7xxx_new version 6.1.7 which should work pretty reliably at this point). Hi Doug -- 80B1 testing First I did a cold RH 7.1 gold install with the CD drive (my unit oldpokey, 4x SCSI CDR Mashushita, 3.99 Dom; Adaptec AHA-2940UW controller, on the SCSI-II channel)-- absolutely no problems doing the RH 7.1 install on a wiped IBM 4G UW drive. Cut over to a cleanly verifying 80B1 set, first cd, and get reset errors out the wazoo ... same hardware. This may be an Anaconda error on reset detection. Swapped out drive and trying with another SCSI CR drlve (non CDR) ... testing Trace in a moment. Created attachment 45423 [details]

This actually looks like a generic case of "this CD drive doesn't like this particular CD media", not a driver issue. Try with a new disk instead of with a new drive and see if that helps. Also, this problem you just reported is decidedly different than the original problem in this bug report. I'm closing this bug out (it's horribly stale at this point anyway). Please open a new bug if you still can't get your CD drive to read the CD *and* if it doesn't seem to be a media issue instead of a driver issue. |
