From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: I have an HP Netserver (5/100LC) with the Adaptec AIC-7770P SCSI embeded controller. When the system boots, it recognizes all scsi devices (sda, sdb, sdc, and scd0), but will not allow the cdrom to be mounted ("unrecognized device" error). The problem occurs both with a Sony CDU-76S and Toshiba XM-4101B. In RH7.1, I was able to use the aic-7xxx driver with no trouble at all. I have tried the aic-7xxx_mod driver and was able to mount the cdrom just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH7.2 2.Select the correct driver for the Adaptec AIC-7770P scsi controller 3.Boot the system and type "mount /mnt/cdrom" Actual Results: unrecognized device Expected Results: CDROM mounted on /dev/cdrom Additional info:
I recently discovered that wether I choose the aic-7xxx or the aic-7xxx_mod scsi driver, neither will allow the mounting of the CD-ROM after the initial install. The aic-7xxx_mod driver does get through the installation without errors, while sometimes the aic-7xxx driver cannot find the CD-ROM that I use for boot/install. After booting initially, I edit the /etc/modules.conf to the driver (aic-7xxx or aic-7xxx_mod)other then the one selected initially and restart, I am able to mount the CD-ROM just fine.
Hmmmm Have you tried running "depmod -ae" as root? That appears to fix a very similar issue for several people
