Description of problem: When attempting to boot from CD to upgrade FC4 to FC5 or FC6, the IPS driver fails to properly detect and initialize an IBM ServeRAID 4L card and detect the attached drives. The RAID card BIOS is 7.12.05 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every attempt to boot from the FC5 or FC6 installation CD. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an IBM ServeRAID 4L card in your system. 2. Attempt to boot from FC6 install CD. 3. When you get the message "Loading IPS driver...", go ALT F8 to get to virtual screen 8 and read the boot messages Actual results: <6> scsi 0: IBM PCI ServeRAID 7.12.05 Build 761 <ServeRAID 4L> <5> ips 0000:01:06.0: Reset Request - Flushed Cache <6> scsi 0:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery <5> ips 0000:01:06.0: Reset Request - Flushed Cache <6> scsi 0:0:1:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery <5> ips 0000:01:06.0: Reset Request - Flushed Cache <6> scsi 0:0:2:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery ... repeats through the search for all 15 devices ...

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
Hello, Please do not close this bug report. I cannot test this on FC8 in the next few days due to other commitments. However, I know it is still an issue in FC7 as well as RedHat Enterprise 5. I have seen _no_ activity indicating that the bug has received any attention to try to research and resolve. What else would you need from me in order to actually get a driver maintainer to look at the problem and try to fix. Reporting it the first time did not seem to do much.
I've changed the version to 7 in the meantime. Let me search through some other reports (I seem to remember seeing some perhaps similar to this) and I'll see if this is a duplicate. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, I was looking through my list and must have missed the mail on this one.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
