Description of problem: After upgrading fedora core 2 to 3 the system wont boot, when I turn on the attached SCSI HP Ultrium 1 Tape. The Tape is attached to a EX-2212UW SCSI PCI Adapter which is based on the Symbios 53C875 chip set. When I try to boot with a CD in rescue mode the system hangs also, when the tape is turned on. Fedora Core 3 detects the Adapter correct as a sym53c8xx based Adapter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.ko of 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 How reproducible: Use EX-2212UW SCSI PCI Adapter or other Adapters that are based on Symbios 53C875 Chip with Fedora Core 3 and attach a HP Ultrium 1 Tape. Power on the tape and start the system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual results: Fedora Core 3 kernel hangs in early stage. Expected results: See above Additional info:
