From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1 Description of problem: I am running fc4 x86_64 on a Sun v40z. Once installed I ran 'yum -y update', which installed kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 and kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4. Upon reboot, the machine did not recognize any of the drives connected to the LSI Fusion Card, which caused an init panic because it couldn't find the disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4, kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fc4 on machine with LSI Fusion Card 2. boot up 3. yum -y update 4. reboot 5. crash Actual Results: System crashed Expected Results: System boots properly Additional info: I rebuilt a kernel using the kernel source and configs doing the following: # rpm -i kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS # rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec # cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.13/linux-2.6.13 # cp configs/kernel-2.6.13-x86_64-smp.config .config # make menuconfig <== Below is a diff of the changes made # make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules_install # mkinitrd --builtin=mptbase --builtin=mptscsih /boot/initrd-2.6.13-prep.img 2.6.13-prep # cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-prep I modified the grub and rebooted, the system boots up perfectly. For some reason building the drivers into the kernel works correctly. Using the modules does not. I had also tried to rebuild the initrd with --preload for the scsi modules with the fedora rpm, but that also failed. ====================== CHANGES to the config: ====================== --- configs/kernel-2.6.13-x86_64-smp.config 2005-10-26 14:57:31.000000000 -0700 +++ .config 2005-10-26 15:25:01.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,8 +1,7 @@ -# x86_64 # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit -# Linux kernel version: 2.6.13.4 -# Wed Oct 26 14:57:31 2005 +# Linux kernel version: 2.6.13-TEST +# Wed Oct 26 15:25:01 2005 # CONFIG_X86_64=y CONFIG_64BIT=y @@ -906,7 +905,7 @@ # # SCSI device support # -CONFIG_SCSI=m +CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y # @@ -996,7 +995,7 @@ # CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_FC is not set CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_1280=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_1280_1040=y -CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=m +CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA21XX=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLA22XX=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2300=m @@ -1040,11 +1039,11 @@ # Fusion MPT device support # CONFIG_FUSION=y -CONFIG_FUSION_SPI=m -CONFIG_FUSION_FC=m +CONFIG_FUSION_SPI=y +CONFIG_FUSION_FC=y CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE=40 -CONFIG_FUSION_CTL=m -CONFIG_FUSION_LAN=m +CONFIG_FUSION_CTL=y +CONFIG_FUSION_LAN=y # # IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
