Assigned to dledford Seems to be fixed in 2.2.14 and later kernels. Howerver kernel option 'PCI Quirks = Yes' needed to detect SCSI in such SMP kernels (tested 2.2.14 and 2.2.16) I assume that you're now using 6.2/7.0 by now and this is no longer a problem |
RedHat 6.0 kernel causes early panic on AlphaServer 2100 (Sable) 4/275 with 2 CPU's 21064, NCR SCSI, 192MB RAM, boot from SRM console. Symptomps: original non-smp kernel: when aboot finishes kernel load it says 'CPU 0 halted' and stops. kernel-smp.img from errata: lots of panics right after hardware detection. RedHat 5.2 works fine (2.0.35 kernel - sable-s.img).
