From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901

Description of problem:
Two SCSI stacks each connected to a AVA2906 (same machine). Boot up detect
correct. When copying large files (>50MB) after 70MB or so is transferred bus
reset request start occuring. Only coarse of action is hard boot (reset button).
If left unattended (2.5+ hours) system locks up hard complaining about an
interrupt. aic7xxx_old produces the same result. After replacement of first
AVA2906 with Tekram 315U no problem copying files on first SCSI stack to other
drives (IDI and SCSI:0) but not SCSI:1 (still AVA2906 controlled.)


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Initiate (50MB+) cp or mv of a large file on a SCSI drive.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Perpetual reset requests coupled with very slow system response.
Commands especially ls or df, executed in another shell hang for
an extended time before responding.

Expected Results:  Copy or move to successfully complete without complaint.

Should I simply upgrade to 7.3 and see if the problem goes away or becomes 64699?

Comment 2 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:35 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
