is this a 440GX chipset machine ?
yes,this is a 440GX chipset machine
440GX chipset machines are not supported very well in Red Hat Linux; but most importantly you need to install the SMP kernel always due to a bios bug that prevents the UP kernel from working!
I have been installed the smp kernel. when boot with smp kernel.the machine be freeze when console print" pty 2048 unix98 ptys configured"
Boot with smp kernel.and append noapic aic7xxx=no_probe,no_reset. and get follow error message: SCSI:aborting command due to timeout:pid scsi0,channel 0,id0,lun ....
I have had this problem as well.

There is nothing the driver can do if its interrupts don't work. File a bug with RedHat. I see someone else has found this problem and filed it. I have tried the 2.4.18-14smp kernel, which stops the boot process at oprofile: APIC was already enabled The machine is now up and running, sort of, using the rescue environment. For some reason the kernel or intird used there does not have the same problems as the installed kerne/initrd. I have salvaged som dmesg-files if that is of interest. This is a very bad situation as the machine needs to go back into production without delay.
I have installed RH8.0 (bootnet) on my Intel ISP2150 (L440GX+ board with Adaptec AIC7896 SCSI BIOS v2.20S1B1). One processor installed. When booting 2.4.18-14smp it stalls at "oprofile: APIC was already enabled". What should I do?
Any temporary Solution for this issue?
you might be able to have more success with the i586 smp kernel
I've got the same problem with a PIII 866 and 815EP chipset. 'Tried several different Adaptec 2940 cards, 7871 7880 etc. - all have the identical abort error 0x2002 and fail to load. This also happens with the 2.4.18.18.7x kernel when upgrading from 2.4.9-34. My initial impression is that kudzu is broken but haven't had time to pursue it yet.
I have the same problem. Adaptec 7896 Ultra 2, BIOS version 6.2.8. The installation went smoothly, it loaded aic7xx and DAC960 drivers, but on bootup, it fails. I get an error message that modprobe failed to exec scsi_hostadapter and return 0x002. Any help appreciated. Thx
See bigid 78243 for a workaround.
Correction: Thats bug id 78234
