DAC960 driver on IA-64 is sensitive about its HW rev, BIOS and Firmware version. If this issue is caused by these ver, It's hard to find out the reason by checking driver... We currentry use these versions: AR352(HW)rev = Rev.C, BIOS = 6.10.07, F/W = 6.10.19. This issue has never been occured on kernel-2.4.9-12 or above. So we guess this has been fixed alreadly. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [ja] (WinNT; U) Description of problem: IA-64 Lion system can't boot if upgrade the kernel from 2.4.3-12 to 2.4.7-2.9. The cause is "can't mount root filesystem". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Seawolf into IA-64 Lion machine which has AR352 for root device. 2. Upgrade kernel to 2.4.7-2.9 3. reboot Actual Results: Boot normally. Expected Results: Boot sequence is stopped at mounting root device. Additional info: The base package is seawolf, and we installed kernel-smp-2.4.7-2.9 by using rpm command "rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.4.7-2.9.ia64.rpm". This is selectable system 2.4.3-12smp and 2.4.7-2.9smp. Booting 2.4.3-12, the machine can boot normally. Booting 2.4.7-2.9smp, couldn't boot. It seems that the DAC960 driver is loaded normally, but "can't mount root fs". The boot parameters for both kernel are same according to elilo.conf. # On qla12160 system(without AR352), 2.4.7-2.9smp # can mount root fs and boot normally...
