Hello, Seth. I couldn't find that exact message format in the RHEL3 source pool. Is the correct string possibly the following (where %d would be replaced by a numeric values)? Queue %d full, %ld outstanding. That's from the aacraid driver. Could you please include the list of modules you've got loaded? Thanks in advance.
when all three servers abend the message is always Queue 6 full lsmod ----- Module Size Used by Tainted: GF autofs4 16888 0 (autoclean) (unused) audit 90872 2 tg3 72680 1 microcode 6912 0 (autoclean) keybdev 2944 0 (unused) mousedev 5656 0 (unused) hid 22532 0 (unused) input 6176 0 [keybdev mousedev hid] ehci-hcd 20776 0 (unused) usb-ohci 23208 0 (unused) usbcore 81152 1 [hid ehci-hcd usb-ohci] ext3 90088 7 jbd 55380 7 [ext3] aacraid 63672 8 qla2300 599324 0 (unused) sd_mod 14160 16 scsi_mod 115756 3 [aacraid qla2300 sd_mod]
> Tainted: GF Please try to reproduce with a non-tainted kernel. Did you see this problem on earlier kernels? The aacraid driver has not changed substancially since 2.4.21-20.EL (Update 3).
Yes I did see the problem with an earlier kernel. I found the resolution. The aacraid driver needs an update from IBM http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1201&uid=psg1MIGR-59553&loc=en_US Updating the aacraid driver seems to work.
Okay, we are planning to update the aacraid driver in Update 7. You will get a notice when this has been checked in so you can test it.
Please test the kernel located at: http://people.redhat.com/coughlan/.2.4.21-37.7.ELdrvrtest2/ to verify that it solves the problem. This contains version 1.1.5-2412 of the aacraid driver. This is the latest from Adaptec, and is a candidate for U7.
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U7 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-37.10.EL).
I am also having this exact same problem with patched RHEL 3.5. Can you put out a hugemem version of this kernel so that I can grab that and see if that'll work for me? I have 16gb ram on this server and its also an xSeries 366.
can someone email me a link to the source rpm for this? I'm trying to install a new qlogic driver and its asking for it.. thanks! -Mike
Michael, all RPMs are in the RHEL3 beta channels on RHN. The latest U7 beta kernel is version 2.4.21-38.EL.
