Installer won't install module for aha152x scsi controller
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:47:55 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 Description of problem: During the install of Redhat 8.0 from a floppy, the driver disk is inserted to add the aha152x module for the scsi controller. It reports that the module is installed but on the Alt F4 console it showed an error for the software interrupt (in the default case, 11). The parameters had been specified correctly and various combinations were tried. This controller (module) worked fine with Redhat 7.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot with boot floppy (boot.img) choose install from disk. 2.Insert driver disk when prompted (drvblock.img). 3.Load aha152x scsi module with appropriate parmaeters (aha152x=0x340,11,7) 4.Watch it blow up (actually an infinite loop). Actual Results: It returned an error on console Alt F4 and loops back to prompt for CD vs. disk drive distribution. Expected Results: It should have loaded the driver and moved on to disk partitioning. Additional info:
See also bug #74879. Problem also mentioned at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? thread_id=712594&forum_id=33429. Will new installation images be required to install RH8.0 on aha152x scsi devices?

Time tracking values updated
I need a new set of install disks (boot.img and drvblock.img) so I can install off my internal CD-ROM drive. At least then I can pull the new kernel packages off the network so the SCSI devices continue to work. I'm adding this note b/c the updated packages at http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-206.html are irrelevant if I can't run the installer. :-( Thanks.
