From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Description of problem: This may be related to bug 29555 (that was w/ 7.1, but sounds the same). I'm trying to upgrade a RH 6.1 system to RH 7.3. The install can't seem to properly initialize the aic7xxx module. It will eventually give up and move on, but then has similar trouble w/ the DAC960 module. Using noprobe or noapic doesn't make any difference. Is this a routing issue like w/ bug 29555? Would the SGI XFS 1.1 installer work as a work-around? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot from install CDROM 2. 3. Actual Results: Installer hangs up trying to load aic7xxx or DAC960 modules. Expected Results: A sucessfull install! Additional info:
Is this a 440GX based motherboard?
I don't remember and I don't seem to have a record of the motherboard model in the info I have available. I've made some inquiries to see if anyone else can find that info. I'm wainting for their reply. Would there be a way to determine that from the info available in /proc?
You should be able to get the PCI bridge information from lspci
The vendor replied that it has an Intel BOXL440GXC motherboard. Here's the lspci output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440GX - 82443GX Host bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440GX - 82443GX AGP bridge 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 80960RP [i960 RP Microprocessor/Bridge] (rev 05) 00:0b.1 RAID bus controller: Mylex Corporation: Unknown device 0010 (rev 05) 00:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7896 00:0c.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7896 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557 (rev 08) 00:10.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 64) 00:12.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:12.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:12.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:12.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:14.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5480 (rev 23) 01:0f.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation: Unknown device 0023 (rev 06)
Then yes, this is the 440GX routing problem *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 29555 ***
