Installer hangs when loading aic7xxx module
Last modified: 2008-02-11 13:25:16 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: I have a Toshiba M500D server (Intel 440BX chipset SMP) and installed Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller. When I tried to install RH8. Installer hangs when loading aic7xxx module. ALT-F4 shows lots of device timeout and reset and keeps looping. I have seen a lot of discussion on RH7.1. Is there a solution or work around yet for RH8? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start from RH8 CD1 2. 3. Actual Results: System hangs. Additional info:
Can you provide any additional information on the content of the device timeout messages? Depending on the messages, this could indicate an interrupt routing problem (not an aic7xxx bug), a configuration issue (termination, cabling, etc.), or an aic7xxx bug. You might also try using version 6.2.28 of the aic7xxx driver. This will also give some additional diagnostics should the problem reside in the aic7xxx driver. Driver update diskettes for 6.2.28 can be found here: http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/DUD/aic7xxx/
The new driver worked. Thanks.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
