There's at least some confusion here since the messages given would only occur in beta1 and not in beta2. What does the bootloader config look like? I'm seeing this with Skipjack-re0318.1 on 2 different DL380s. One has the Smart Array 5i (cciss) controller. The other has an "Integrated Smart Array Controller (ver 1.40)" (cpqarray). Both are giving me the kernel panic as above (although I have not personally observed the end of installation message -- these wer kickstart installs). With a newer tree (Skipjack-re0320.0) I'm still seeing the cciss lock, but the cpqarray seems to have booted. I have serial captured the boot messages, will attach. Created attachment 49267 [details]
serial capture of cciss system (DL380) kernel panic
In the above capture, there is a notable pause (several seconds) between the following two lines: blk: queue f7fb9e1c, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) Loading sym53c8xx module Is this system set up in the lab? At least one of these boxes (the 2-U DL380) has a symbios SCSI adapter in it. I'm guessing that the panic has to do w/ the 'mkinitrd' errors I found in the install.log (after booting w/ linux rescue). see bug# 60242 Fixed in mkinitrd-3.3.6 and newer Can the bug reporter please verify this is fixed against a recent tree? Could compaq please test the latest Skipjack beta so we can confirm this fix? I haven't seen this bug with any of the recent trees (and that would include Skipjack public beta 2). My testing includes the two machines in the lab that manifested the bug before (one cciss and one cpqarray). Sounds good; thanks for testing Mike |
