From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.08 [en] (X11; I; AIX 4.3) Description of problem: I copy all Errata RPMS in the RedHat/RPMS on my kickstart server, create a new hdlist and run the buildinstall script for new images. There is a Adaptec 7890 or 7892 or a old pci Adaptec SCSI controler in the system. When the installtion starts on console 4 scrolls the massage "Warning - running *really* short on DMA buffers". Kickstart ends on console 5 with "Error 2: Bad file or directory type" from the grub command. The installation is missing because the disk is not bootable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use the original CD4s to create the kickstart server 2. replace the RPMS with the new RPMS from errata 3. create a new hdlist 4. use /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall to create new CD bootimages 5 . start kickstart with the new bootnet.img from disk Actual Results: kernel-2.4.18-3 and kernel-2.4.18-4 dosn4t have this problem. I think, the aic7xxx module is not o.k. in the new kernel. The buldinstall use the new kernel to create the images. But the "old" kernels has the NFS-Write problem which is fixed in kernel-2.4.18-5.
