Description Fritz Whittington 2002-10-12 06:09:20 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020826

Description of problem:
With an Iomega Jaz drive plugged in externally to an Adaptec
AHA-2940AU, install will lock up at a random point early in Disk 1.  Requires
reset or power cycle.  Unplugging external drive allows normal installation. 
Shutdown, re-install drive, reboot and system will lock up after 5-15 minutes of
use.  Leaving drive un-plugged allows system to work as expected.  This is NEW
with 8.0, 7.2 & 7.3 installed and ran OK with the Jaz drive.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug in external Jaz drive.
2.Attempt to install 8.0 (or run system installed without external drive plugged
in).
3.
	

Actual Results:  During install:  after starting packages install, all progress
halts after 5 to 15 minutes.  Mouse still works.  Alt-Shift-F4 shows a repeating
message like:  SCSI error 2002:  command found on queue.  After unplugging
external drive, system installs and runs just fine.  If the drive is plugged
back in, system will freeze after some short time, even without any attempt to
mount the Jaz drive.  Does not respond to keyboard at all.  Reset required.

Expected Results:  7.2 and 7.3 installed and ran fine with the Jaz drive.

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/
