From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: In contrast to RH EL 3.0 the RH EL 4.0 doesn't recognize the Fusion/LSI Logic MPT scsi controller and disks on my HP xw9300 workstation. Selecting the drivers manually doesn't help either. Therefore I can't install RH EL4.0 on that machine. As said before RH EL 3.0 just works fine as well as Suse 9.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert RH EL 4.0 CDROM and boot from it 2.The anaconda installer tells about an nVidia SATA controller but doesn't find the onboard Fusion/LSI Logic. 3.A manual selection of the LSI Logic controller doesn't get the scsi shown! 4.Installation fails. Additional info:
This sounds like the driver not supporting the controller you have. Can you provide lspci -vn?
Created attachment 115206 [details] Requested lspci from an RH EL 3.0 installation Find the requested lspci from a successfull RH EL 3.0 installation on the same machine. The devices of interest are number 61:06.0 and 61:06.1.
Got a typ from HP. They send my acustomer advisory WO050217_CW01 revision 1. The solution is to start the installation with "linux acpi=off" on teh Red Hat Enterprise Linux install boot prompt.
