From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: I know redhat 7.1 has trouble with 440GX chipsets, I downloaded the boot.img that supposedly helped people, but the result is the same. My server is a DELL Power Edge 2300/450 440GX. It has support for dual processors, hence the 440GX chipset, but I am only using 1 processor. The server has 2 SCSI controllers in it. Both are adaptec and on the hardware list. One is a aic-7890 for the ULTRA2-LVD Disks that attach to a ULTRA2- LVD backplane, and a aic-7860 for the cdrom. The SCSI driver aic7xxx driver loads and sucessfully finds the both SCSI controllers. On the aic- 7860 it enumerates cdrom fine and the cdrom works. On the aic-7890 the backplane gets enumerated but the disks dont... so anaconda keeps telling me i have no place to install to. I tried the new boot.img for 440GX computer, same result as cdrom boot... I think it has to do with the backplane, which is a device itself.. I have tried many things and nothing seems to work. The disks work fine under dos and winnt/2000server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.get a dell 2300/450 440GX 2.try your best to install... :) 3. Actual Results: NADA Expected Results: should have enumerated my SCSI disks Additional info: Do you know of this problem??? If so is this fixed in 7.2???
I haven't had this specific problem. We have a test lab full of all kinds of PowerEdge hardware, and 7.1 and 7.2 were both tested on them. You might give 7.2 a try and see if that makes things work better. This seems more of a kernel issue, since the driver seems to be the source of the problem. Can you try 7.2?
