Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 64732
Installer sees duplicate HDs when installing on EMC Symmetrix
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:42:30 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: During installation of RH 7.3 on external SCSI-Storage (EMC-Symmetrix) via Adaptec 2944 Ultra SCSI Adapter, the number of recognized Disks is twice as much as are really available (possibly the internal mirrored ones?). This leads to an error message about corrupt partition tables on the additional disks. Finally, perhaps as an result of this behaviour, the installation hangs when installing the LILO-bootloader. Same machine under RH 7.2, installs without any problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert CD-ROM / Do Kickstart Install 2. Wait just before the filesystems have to be created 3. Wait just before the filesystems have to be created Actual Results: Error Message pops up about "corrupt partition tables on sdd ...." Expected Results: A fully automatic kickstart install or an CD-ROM Installation without any error message. Additional info:
Arjan are you familiar with this hardware setup? I do not believe we have this hardware here in our test lab.
I don't think we have any emc kit at all
We do not have hw to reproduce this issue.
Nothing new, we are still not able to use RedHat 7.2 in production. Possibly the scsi module in kernel 2.4.18?
Does this occur if you do an install in "expert noprobe" and load the old aic7xxx module (aic7xxx_old) instead of the newer Adaptec one ? If so that might explain why 7.2 works and 7.3 doesn't as well as giving us some information on what might be triggering this ?
