Installer hangs/loops when loading sym53C1010 module

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Hardware: Tyan Thunder 2500; Dual 1G PenIII, 4G mem, Mylex 1100, Adaptec & onboard Dual chan Symbios 53C1010 #1w/HP tape lib, CD-Rom, DVD #2w/segate 4.5G 10K. NOTE: This hardware is currenlty running RH 7.3 (with upgrades & patches) & a custom 2.4.18-10 kernel using the Ver 1 Symbios driver with no problems. When the install tries to load the symbios module, the system seems to get into a loop with the scsi bus reseting and then the module trying again. This will continue as long as you let it. I've noticed problems before w/Ver 2 in the 2.4 kernel which is why I haven't used it. Ver 1 works correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Whatever's in the Core 2 base install How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start install 2. 3. Actual Results: System loops resetting the bus and trying again Expected Results: Should load and work as the Symbios Ver 1 driver Additional info: The install CD will boot from either the CD-Rom or DVD/CD-Rom that's on the 1st channel of the Symbios controller.
I've done some more testing, but without any sucess. Is there any chance that the Ver 1 driver could be ported to the 2.6 kernel? The Ver 2 driver is definitely a problem.
Same problem here (using install CD's), module hangs when loading it : scsi0: Sym-2.1.18j Vendor: QUANTUM Model: ATLAS10K2-TY734J Type: Direct-access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 scsi(0:0:0:0): Beginning Domain Validation sym0:0:Wide asynchronous sym0:0: ABORT operation started seconds at each ABORT and DEVICE RESET attempt sym0:0: ABORT operation timed out sym0:0: DEVICE RESET operation started sym0:0: DEVICE RESET operation completed sym0: SCSI bus has been reset sym0:0: ABORT operation started sym0:0: ABORT operation timed out sym0:0: DEVICE RESET operation started sym0:0: DEVICE RESET operation complete Then hangs. Each Abort/Reset step takes 10-20 secs. SCSI bus negociation issue? Drive & Controller work fine on RH9 / 2.4.x
did fc3 do any better on this hardware ?
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.
