Description Qian Cai 2008-01-16 09:10:38 UTC
Description of problem:
While booting kernel 2.6.18-68.el5 on lenovo ThinkCentre machine, the kernel
panic. However, there is no problem for kernel 2.6.18-67.el5. I have verified
the panic is caused by patch,

- [sata] rhel5.2 driver update (Jeff Garzik ) [184884 307911]

Comment 7 Jay Turner 2008-01-17 12:13:24 UTC
Proposing for 5.2 beta blocker.  Recently introduced regression apparently
related to the SATA update, so definitely want to kill this one off as quickly
as possible.  QE ack for RHEL5.2 Beta Blocker.

I found another boot failure on ibm-x3200m2-01.rhts.boston.redhat.com with the
-74 kernel:

You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Generic tests exercising the software stack related to SATA devices passed.
