User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98)

Description of problem:
The formatting process during installation of RH7.3 
took more than two hours. It ended with kernel panic at c011f11c.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
run installation and choose disk to be formatted, choose components, etc. and 
let it run

Actual Results:  kernel panic at c011f11c

Expected Results:  start copying boot image and rpms

Additional info:

I took an external scsi disk (ex part of sun raid), wiped it and choose to use 
it competely for linux. The formatting process during installation of RH7.3 
took more than two hours. It ended with kernel panic at c011f11c.
Before it had a lot of messages in ctrl-alt-f4 window:
<4> aic7xxx - abort returns 0x2002
scsi0:0:0:0 Attempting to queue an ABORT message
Command not found on device queue
dumping card state
...
and later: <6> scsi device set offline...

Is something wrong with this disk?

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/
