Description of problem: Fedora Core 5 vanilla kernel 2.6.15 allows use of i2o driver to control Adaptec 1200 series IDE RAID Card (using BIOS version 1.62 as of 11/6/02 -- last BIOS update they have). Upon installation of newest core 2.6.20- 1.2307.fc5, the i2o driver fails to work correctly. Error provided upon rebooting to new Kernel load is "Buffer I/O on device i20/hda logical block 0". It then fails to load any of the RAID or drives or allow access. Fedora Core 6 is worse in that the i2o driver will not even recognize the RAID array. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.15 original to upgrade to 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 How reproducible: upgrade kernel with this hardware device and error is duplicatable each time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use FC5 2.6.15 and setup Card using i2o driver 2. Create partition and file 3. Upgrade to newest kernal and reboot -- RAID card i2o will fail Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I have tested with fc5 kernel 2.6.16.18.1.22.57.fc5 and the i2o driver still works correctly. On kernel's 2.6.16.19 - 2.6.16.20 the i2o driver fails to load the RAID correctly and the kernel fails.
