aic79xx hangs on Dell 470 workstation with Adaptec ASC-39320
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:13:56 EST
Description of problem: I've just received some new Dell workstation 470 with Adaptec ASC-39320 SCSI HBA included. I can't install Fedora Core 3 on these boxes. The aic79xx module does not load correctly. It fails to attach to the card. There is some bad news in the system logs (Call trace for insmod). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert FC3 disc1 in the cdrom drive 2. boot 3. Actual results: The module does not load correctly. So, I can't continue the installation since there is only one disk in the machine, connected to the ASC-39320 SCSI controler. Expected results: Be able to install FC3 on the SCSI disk connected to SCSI controler. Additional info:
I've managed to install an old redhat 9 using an aic79xx 2.0.10 driver disk. I've found it there : http://people.freebsd.org/%7Egibbs/linux/DUD/aic79xx/ Please help me to use something more recent ;-)
This bug also occurs on the Dell Precision 670 Workstation. The SCSI bios screen shows the onboard SCSI chipset to be an AIC-7901 F/W: 4.30.4S5. I have tried pushing the scsi bus down to 160MB/Sec and turning of packetization and QAS but the aic7910 driver still crashes...
No news on that issue... How can I help to solve this problem ?
Dell Precision 670 Workstation: ata_piix module raises an exception while loading (OOPS 0002 #1...); as resulting from an "lsmod" command, both ata_piix and aic79xx modules are blocked in "Loading" state, no SCSI disk detected and rmmod doesn't work. RH Enterprise 3 works correctly. ...any news?
