Just updated to the 2.4.18-18.7.x kernel erratum. The problem remains! The drive (/dev/hdg) is 100 gig maxtor, 3 partitions. hdg1 is 80 gigs, hdg2 and hdg3 evenly split the remainder, at around 8 gigs more or less each. hdg3 can be accessed apparently successfully (only brief attempt, seemed to work OK). An attempt to mount /dev/hdg1 hangs. The LED attached to the Promise controller's LED connector is on, remains on. Several minutes go by before I give up and do a 3-finger-salute. The 3-finger-salute fails, does not reboot. Had to do a hard powerdown and reboot. Rebooted to the 2.4.98-34 kernel because it is known to work. FWIW, the motherboard has the manufacturer's latest (as of August) BIOS. I'm still unable to use a newer errata kernel.... any news on this? I don't see anyone else reporting it. How can I help diagnose it? 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/ |
