From Bugzilla Helper: 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 Additional info:
Did you install the SMP kernel ? 440GX motherboards really need the smp kernel (that is, if you're lucky)
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
