From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: I had scsi_hostadapter set to AM53C974 in modules.conf. When I updated to the new kernel in 'updates' it added a new 'alias scsi_hostadapter1 tmscsim'. When I reboot it first loads AM53.. and then tmscsim which makes the system ooops right after tmscsim has been loaded. When probing for scsi adapter it always gives me tmscsim, but I wanna use AM53C974 instead since it works better for me. Once I removed the extra line and reran mkinitrd it worked fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change scsi_hostadapter 2. Update kernel 3. Verify that you have a new scsi_hostadapter line Additional info:
Can you reproduce the *exact* steps to get the new entry added to modules.conf? Does running /usr/sbin/module_upgrade do it?
I repeated the sequence I did yesterday and this time the new kernel booted fine. Very strange. Another thing I observed yesterday was that after I had used the rescue disc and removed the extra scsi_hostadapter line and rebooted it didn't actually work right away. So I had to use the rescue disk again. The second time I removed the initrd and did mkinitrd again, then rebooted successfully... A final thing, upon boot I get the following : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:09.0 scsi0 : AM53/79C974 PCscsi driver rev. 0.5; host I/O address: 0xe400; irq: 11 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST34520N Rev: 1444 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 8888924 512-byte hdwr sectors (4551 MB) sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 > .... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
