Description Nate Golnik 2003-10-22 17:38:43 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030716

Description of problem:
Using a Dell 1750 and a dell powervalult 220 attaced the the externl scsi port
on the 1750.  The bios boots properly and detects the 2 onboard scsi drives,
then detects the 14 drives on the powervault.

Installer gets to the point where it needs to initialize the disks in the
powervault.  It initializes /dev/sdc,/dev/sdd, then stops
it can't initialize /tmp/sdX after that.  

All the drives are good and were able to be initialized with an adaptec 39160.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Useing a Dell 1750 connect a powervault to the external port
2.Useing new uninitialized drives in the powervault
3.Start the install
    

Actual Results:  The installer fails to initialize the drives after the first
two in the powervault.

Expected Results:  Intstaller should initialize all the drives and continue with
the install.

Not really sure about his...perhaps we can try the updated U3 spin
with the 2.05.05 mptfusion driver. I'm cc'ing Tom, and Jeremy...

Comment 2 Tom Coughlan 2003-12-04 22:45:17 UTC
I don't think this system uses mptfusion for the built-in SCSI.  It is
either aacraid or megaraid. Can you confirm Nate?  

Comment 3 Nate Golnik 2003-12-10 18:07:49 UTC
Actually this system has no raid controller. The onboard scsi
controllers show up as...
04:05.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly
NCR) 53c1030 (rev 07)
04:05.1 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly
NCR) 53c1030 (rev 07)

This is an old report and will now be closed due to inactivity.  If this is
still an issue with current RHEL2.1 kernels, please re-open the ticket with
updated info.
