Description of problem: After completing the initial install to a SAN LUN, the user is asked to reboot. When the host comes back up, it begins to boot, then fails with a kernel panic apparently due to the inability to read the boot LUN. How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1) Map one LUN to the host and configure the Manteo BIOS to set the LUN as a boot device on one path. 2) Fail the alternate controller so that the host can only see the LUN through the primary path. 3) Install Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.7 from CD. If configured correctly, the mapped LUN should be seen and be selectable as an installation device. 4) Complete the installation and reboot when prompted. Expected Results: The host boots back up and the user is greeted with the "1st boot" screen where initial setup happens. Actual Results: The host begins to boot from the LUN but encounters a kernel panic stopping the host from reaching the 1st boot screen. Additional info: From the console before the panic occurs, it appears that the host is unable to read from the mapped lun or see the logical volume group: Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0 Reading all physical volumes.

This has been sitting idle for a long time - has the problem been resolved in more recent RHEL5.8+? Thanks, Jes
