Description Josh Knowles 2001-12-11 20:21:28 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
I am trying to install on a machine with the Intel 440gx motherboard and 
the Adaptec 7896N scsi controller.  Everything loads and works during 
install but once install is done and I go to reboot the machine gets in a 
endless loop trying to load the scsi devices.  It says something about 
sharing IRQ 11 and timing out.

I figure this is related to bug 29555 but they weird thing is I can boot 
up and run the installer fine, it just hangs once I reboot after install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH 7.2 onto machine with Intel 440gx and Adaptec 7896N
2. Reboot after install.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Endless loop while trying to load scsi devices because of 
a timeout problem and an IRQ sharing issue.

Expected Results:  It should load everything and start 7.2

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-12-11 22:35:56 UTC 
Did you install the SMP kernel ?
440GX motherboards really need the smp kernel (that is, if you're lucky)
Comment 2 Josh Knowles 2001-12-11 22:47:49 UTC 
Just reinstalled choosing the smp kernal from the package list.  Worked like a 
charm, didn't even need to use the apic command like the workaround for 7.1
