From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: I took a system that was running a 2.4 kernel and tried to install Fedora Core 2 over it (straight install, not an upgrade). The 3ware card was not detected during the installation process, and even once the system was running Fedora Core 2, any attempt to manually install the 3w-xxxx driver would fail with a message that there was no such hardware present. After a while, I gave up on Fedora Core 2 and re-installed RedHat 9 over Fedora Core 2. After the re-install or RedHat 9 over Fedora, the 3ware card is once again detected and functions perfectly. System Details: Tyan S2707G2N M/B (with latest BIOS v1.07) [all jumpers in their default position] 512MB DDR266 ECC, Registered RAM (Corsair) 3ware 7500-8 (last firmeware from v7.7.0 release) Maxtor 40GB UDMA133 IDE drive 3.5" Floppy 52X IDE CD-ROM (Memorex) The 3ware card is installed in the first PCI-X slot (the one that does *not* share a PCI bus with the embedded NIC). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 2 on the system described above Actual Results: Fedora Core 2 installs, but 3ware card is not detected and any attempt to run "modprobe 3w-xxxx" to manually install the driver fails with a no such hardware error. Expected Results: Expected to have the 3w-xxxx module loaded and a functioning 3ware adapter. Additional info:
One thought just occured to me here. The 3ware card is plugged into a PCI-X slot. If you look at my other bug (#125416), the NIC that is not being detected is also on a PCI-X bus. Maybe something changed with the 2.6 kernel such that the PCI-X buses are not being detected anymore?
See comments on BZ# 125412 as the suggested work-around for that bug also seems to fix this issue (i.e. turning off ACPI support).
