Description Sammy 2005-10-17 20:35:13 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux; X11; en_US) KHTML/3.4.91 (like Gecko)  Description of problem: I have a new dual-core x86_64 computer (DELL Precision 380n) which I updated  to latest X86_64 rawhide.    In the last couple of days the system hanged few times and upon trying to repower  it comes down with saying it cannot find the boot device. However, After another  try it does and works fine.    I also experience hangs if I try to connect an external device while the system is  functioning fine.    The 36GB SCSI disk is attached to Adaptec AIC7902 U320 adapter. All the cables etc.  are secured fine. Listening to the drive you can tell that it is not spinning up in cases  where it fails.    Could this be a case where the drive is not spinned down properly and upon reboot  it cannot spin up.   Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.13-1.1615_FC5  How reproducible: Sometimes  Steps to Reproduce: 1. DELL Precision 380n with the above scsi card and drive.  2. Try powering on and off few times.  3. Attach external scsi tape when system is running.       Additional info:

Sorry, If I use bugzilla with the rawhide Konqueror I get this. Here it is with
Firefox:
