Doug, is this the configuration bug, or something else? Different issue. I need to know what disks are in the system to be able to help with this. We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release. I'm not sure what you want - the Scsi adapter doesn't seem to be as clear about identifing the drivers as the ide does. There are two disks, both the same: Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2231 cylinders The messages from a 7.0 boot are as follows: Feb 23 13:48:54 maalox kernel: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.0.8 BETA Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: aic7896/97: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: aic7896/97: Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: Vendor: IBM Model: DNES-318350Y Rev: SAA0 Feb 23 13:48:55 maalox kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Feb 23 13:48:56 maalox kernel: Vendor: SGI1200 Model: Server Family Rev: 1.01 Feb 23 13:48:56 maalox kernel: Type: Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Feb 23 13:48:56 maalox kernel: (scsi0:A:1): async, 8bit Feb 23 13:48:56 maalox kernel: scsi0:0:1:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.

If so, please try booting "noapic" and see if that works around the problem. I tried to kickstart passing the noapic option to the kernel on my valinux 2200 (dual 850MHz/512MB mem/LVD HD) with no luck. I still hang at the "Loading aic7xxx driver...". I cant provide wolverine log, since it hangs in the boot process. I guess one might be able to video record the screen but that's not a readily available tool. It is a 2 processor machine and booting 'linux noapic' in response to the install lilo boot prompt makes no difference in behavior. I grabbed a bootnet.img from rawhide today (3/9/01) the bootnet.img is dated 3/5/01. I dd'd it to a floppy and copied over my usual beowulf kickstart stuff. Wolverine kickstarted just fine with this new image. I am using a dual 850MHz VALinux 2200 (2u) with 2GB memory per machine. Just thought I'd mention that I am experiencing this problem as well on a VA 2240 box. Hangs at the Loading AIC-7xxx driver screen and in the other screens I find info about timeouts as described in the other comments. I've tried booting from both a seawolf CD and a floppy. This machine still boots fine from a 7.0 boot CD. More detail about the error I'm seeing in the background... the exact messages are: <4>scsi : aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi x, channel 0, id xx, lun 0 0x12 00 00 00 ff 00 I get two of these for scsi 0 on every id 00-15 (except 7), and then again for scsi 1. I have no SCSI devices attached to these controllers (7896, I believe, integrated on the motherboard), but there is a mylex RAID card. I also just tried a rawhide boot floppy from March 14th that said RedHat 7.0.91 and received the same results. Hope this helps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 29555 *** |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.51 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.5-15smp i686) Install hangs loading the aic7xxx driver. after loading the driver, it prints messages like <4> scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0 scsi -, channel 0, id 10, lun 0 0x 12 00 00 00 ff 00 Message is repeated twice for each scsi id,and at least twice thru the list of id's with about a 3 second timeout between messages. Once its done with this it does actually print summary of finding the disk drives present. It then loops with messages of the form bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0 host 0 channel 0 reset lun 0 timed out - trying harder. Message is repeated at about 3 second intervals Hardware is SGI 1200 This failure did not occur in the fisher beta. The following log messages (from fisher beta) may help identify card causing problem scsi 0: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter aic7896/97: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs scsi 1: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> aic7896/97: Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert wolverine CD 1 2. attempt to boot system 3. hit return at lilo prompt. Actual Results: system loops loading aic7xxx Expected Results: no timeouts.
