From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: If you have a machine with no megaraid card in it, and you attempt to load the megaraid driver, the driver load will abort as it should stating there is no such device. However, after this process is done, /proc/devices will have a bogus entry in it(for 7.1 kernel, the new kernels just segmentation fault on a read of that file). Also, when you init 6 the box, it will panic at the end stating bad EIP value. We have to load this manually for our kickstart proceedure, since qla2x00 is autodetected prior to the aacraid or megaraid drivers, which would cause the OS to be installed on the external data disks, very bad esp. if they are shared disk. Tried latest 2.4.7-2.18smp kernel Happened in 7.1 as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot machine with no megaraid card 2. modprobe megariad 3. cat /proc/devices 4. init 6 Actual Results: the cat /proc/devices will segmentation fault, and the init 6 will cause a panic at the end of the shutdown. Additional info:
Reproduced. Fixed.
