Description Pekka Savola 2002-01-21 08:20:01 UTC 
2.4.9-13 oopses on P3/1.2Ghz with AIC 7899 when forced to fsck ext3
software-raided
partitions.  If fsck is not forced, the box usually crashes later; with fsck,
it's reproducible.

As there appear to be a few SCSI errors, this *might* also be due to some SCSI
hardware problem; otherwise I assume a bug in aic7xxx drivers.

Errors are like:

blk: queue f7020418, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)

or:

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
