Description of problem: Cannot install RH Linux 7.3 from floppy, or boot Kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x, on a Dell PowerEdge SP5133-2 with Hard Drives on an Adaptec AHA-2740 EISA SCSI Host adapter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Will not work with RH 7.3 Boot floppy or RH 7.1 with kernel update (2.4.18- 27.7.x) System will boot with Linuc bak (2.4.2-2) from 7.1 installation. How reproducible: Reproduce every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from 7.3 floppy 2. Load driver disk 3. Embedded NCR 53c810 SCSI with CD-ROM is detected 4. Does not detect Adaptec controller. Will not Actual results: System hangs during boot or keeps asking for device with harddrives during install Expected results: Detects AHA-2740 and loads driver. Additional info: I have already tried the aic7xxx_old driver, in new kernel, does not help. Sounds similar to other aic7xxx issues, but none of their solutions appear to resolve problem.
