This happens to me also under x86_64. When running the installation procedure, after /sbin/loader starts, the system tries to load the aic7xxx driver. After about 20 seconds I see the message: Kernel panic - not syncing: Waiting List traversal This happens every time, and has occurred on every machine with an Adaptec SCSI controller that I have tried to load FC3 onto. I have tried suggestions by others that I use 'aic7xxx=no_reset' or 'aic7xxx=no_probe', but neither of these fixes worked.
Same problem for me with Tyan Thunder K7 2462 mobo with 7899 controller. Apparently the kernel/driver/whatever is taking a _very_ long time to scan the SCSI controller. After 25 minutes, the install will continue as normal. See bug 152660.
Same a problem while I try to install redhat enterprise WS version 4 on an IBM Intellistation 6850-25G which have Aic7899 Controller. At the first stage of the installation, it searches the aic7xxx driver and hangs forever Typing on ALT-F4 I see that it finds the correct Adaptec AIC-7899 scsi controller. I also tryed to boot with noprobe, but than choosing the aic7xxx driver, it got hangs. Is it possible to get the scsi driver image so I will load it from a disk ?
