Description ddsm 2000-05-23 17:28:09 UTC
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

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2000-08-17 18:17:31 UTC
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.

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/
