From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Dual XEON on SuperMicro PRDL6 motherboard. Two SCSI disks. The installer fails to find any disks. Fedora Core 1 and RedHat 9 are working on the machine, but with the 2.4 kernel. I have also tried to install the generic kernel on the FC1 partition, but the driver has the same problem. I contacted the developer, got the latest driver, but it has the same problem. The developer suggested this: > Then I don't know why it is not attaching. I would suggest sprinkling > printks in the routine ahc_linux_pci_dev_probe() in the file > drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm_pci.c to try and narrow down the > failure. However, this routine is never reached, and I got no further input from the developer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.5-1.327 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install FC2t3 on machine 2. 3. Actual Results: installer can't find any disk drives Expected Results: Install should complete normally Additional info: When booting the 2.6.2 kernel with the FC1 install, this message appears: loading aic7xxx.ko module insmod: error inserting /lib/aic7xxx.ko: -1 No such device

Arjan, aic7899 is still not in the Rawhide kernel (but apparently has been with upstream kernel.org kernels since 2.6.6), and users can't get the SCSI controller recognised (even though aix7xxx is included, but can't be used) This on an i386 machine, too
eh the rawhide kernel is based on 2.6.9-rc1; anything "since 2.6.6" sure is included
Apologies, wrongly informed. This is the i2o stuff, which I think *just* got merged in... Will tell user, thanks arjan
Has this issue been fixed since this thread was posted? I'm trying to install FedoreCore2 on an Intel SE7500 machine that also requires a working AIC 7899 driver. So far, no luck. Anyone know of other RH distributions that can recognize the 7899? Thanks, JAy
any improvement with the latest update ?
All was well with Fedora Core 2 (no extra drivers needed) after I added "acpi=off" to the linux startup line. Looks like there's some sort of interrupt compatiblity problem...
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
