When trying to install RH 6.2 on a HP Netserver (details further) i get such message in expert mode (in normal mode scsi subsystem is not recognized): -----begin Loading aic7xxx driver... Kernel panic : aic7xxx : unrecoverable BRKADINT. Ln swapper task - not syncing -------end And then then the installation hangs! What to do? PS The 5.9 RH installation went flawlessly thru this step. Server details: Name : HP Netserver 5/66 LF Dmitry. Thanks in advance.
Same problem when upgrading my HP Netserver 5/66 LX running RH 6.1 to latest kernels 2.2.14-12.
I have the same problems with Adaptec AHA2840 VLB SCSI adapter (aic7770 based) on my 486. I just can't install RedHat 6.2, it hangs during "aic7xxx module load".
See bugs 11610, 11729, 11790, 11797
I fixed mine by overwriting the aic7xxx files (and directory) in the source distro with the ones from RH 6.1. A pain to get ahold of them, but once I did, I then re-compiled the kernel and the aic problems went away.
