Bug 62994

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011014

Description of problem:
When a customer attempted to upgrade to the 2.4.9-31 kernel RPM, he experienced
a kernel panic (failed to mount root fs).  Upon further investigation we found
that booting to an IDE drive and then attempting to mount an array off of a
megraid card failed for 2.4.9-31.  2.4.9-21 and earlier work fine.

The problem appears to be the "linux-2.4.9-sapcertification.patch" patch which
makes some pretty radical changes to the megaraid driver.  Removing the patch
and rebuilding the RPM corrects the problem.

We are using the AMI Megaraid Express 500 (I believe the model number is 475). 
Firmware has been upgraded to latest rev (3.12) and works flawlessly with the
standard megaraid 1.18 driver.  



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.9-31


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RH 7.2 on server with Express 500 card.
2.Upgrade to 2.4.9-31
3.Cry when the kernel claims it can't mount root fs.
	

Actual Results:  Megaraid driver failed to see the logical drive.

Expected Results:  Megaraid driver should have seen the logical drive.
