Description of Problem: system hang during startup when try to detect percraid on Dell Power Edge 2500 with percraid 3/Di after install new RH kernel-2.4.9-21.i686.rpm Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.9-21 How Reproducible: boot with 2.4.9-21 kernel Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.9-21.i686.rpm 2. mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.4.9-21 3. shutdown -r -y 0 Actual Results: back to kernel 2.4.9-13 Expected Results: right detect of percraid Additional Information: aacraid driver with kernel 2.4.9-21 is different from 2.4.9-13
Please provide lspci -v and lspci -n output so that I can see which PCI ID your model has

This card id is known by the current driver. What precisely do the boot messages say after the aacraid module is loaded during the boot and before it fails ?
Is there any method to record fail start on a file ?( I don't think to hand write gerogliphical message)
Without it finding the disks at boot - Im afraid not. What I need to know is what it prints after Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver ... for the next few lines, and also the message at the end when it gives up
I don't believe but I have make it !: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Red Hat nash version 3.2.6 starting Loading scsi_mod module SCSI subsystem driver revision: 1.00 Loading sd_mod module Loading aacraid module Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver, Jan 17 2002 * PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 01:02.1 ** PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 02:04.0 repeat line * repeat line ** repeat line * repeat line ** ... and system remain indefinitely here without further message
Ok can you try the kernel from http://domsch.com/linux Thats Matt Domsch at Dell, and they have a kernel with a further fix for the aacraid in which may be relevant. Let me know if it fixes the problem, and we hope to have that fix in our next errata
The bug is resolved with kernel-2.4.9-31
