Description Clark Tompsett 2002-06-04 02:02:59 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020516

Description of problem:
during boot, the aic7xxxx modules cause kernel panic with interupt sync.  reset
or powering off until system will boot.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-4


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
System is Ausa v7-v133 motherboard, k7 1.2 ghz Athlon, 512 mb memory, aha2940uw
( 3 scsi hd, scanner, orb), aha2903(zip100, cdrw,dvd-ram, tape), both ide
channels ( 1 hd, cdrom, cdrw(scsi3)), 4 usb ports, nvida tnt agp video, 10/100
nic, ensonics sound, tv card.

1. install rh72. kernel 2.4.9
2. upgrade to rh7.3
3. upon boot, kernel panic while loading or after loading aic7xxxx.  
 Repeated resets or power off/ on to boot

This happens on every boot since updateing to rh 7.3


Actual Results:  1) If the kernel crashes while loading the aic7xxxx driver, it
does not show scsi0 or scsi1.

2) When the driver sees both cards, identify the devices on scsi0 and set the
scb.  Kernel will 1) panic with int syc or 2) will boot system while working
with scsi1.

3) system will identify devices on both scsi0 and scsi1 and boot



Expected Results:  System should have booted with out a kernel panic.  This
behavor did not occur with rh7.2 kernel 2.4.9

Additional info:

have updated to latest mkinitd from rawhide and remaide the initid image.

removing the aha2903 card did not solve problem.

information from the message log after sucessful boot.  no information in log
file when the kernel panics.

Comment 1 Clark Tompsett 2002-06-19 01:50:08 UTC

Tested the 2.4.18-5.41 kernel from Rawhide.  This kernel booted from a cold boot
without problems.  Due to the Nvidia video driver, not compiling due to this
kernel being compiled with a different version of the compiler, I have not been
able to test this kernel or successive kernels from rawhide.

Comment 2 Clark Tompsett 2002-06-21 03:56:13 UTC

Installed the 2.4.18-5 athlon kernel today from the update site.  I still have
kernel panics when booting.  Message is
sginpos=161 SCB index =25
kernel panic: loop 1

The value for sginpos changes, one time 161 the next 133, etc.

Also have two messages that appear --
spurlus 8258a interupt: IRQ7  (not logged in the logged file and occurs if the
system boots or not)

and 

scsi0: PCI error interuupt at seqaddr = 0x1

did not see these boot errors when I tested the 5-41 kernel from rawhide.

Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:39 UTC

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/
