Bug 465861

Description of problem:
After updating the kernel to kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.0.1.ELsmp the system will no longer boot and just scrolls this message down the screen in what appears to be an infinite loop:

aac_srb: aac_fib_send failed with status: 8195

This appears to be related to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450444
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453472

The machine has 6GB of memory and works fine when reverting to 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp (Yes, I know this needs updating, hence it was being updated)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.0.1.ELsmp

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install kernel-2.6.9-78.0.1-ELsmp on a machine with this raid controller.
2. Reboot.
  
Actual results:
System will no longer boot and just scrolls this message down the screen in what appears to be an infinite loop:

aac_srb: aac_fib_send failed with status: 8195

Expected results:
Proper system boot up.

Additional info:
The machine is a dell poweredge 2650 w/6GB of ram. It is running the 32bit version of rhel4 not the 64bit version as appears to be referenced in the other bugs for this issue.
