From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Installing on the following machine type: Thunder K7X (S2468) Motherboard with 2 channel scsi (68pin) (1) +1800 AMD MP Segate Cheetah 18.4 Gig SCSI (Master) WesterDigital 75Gig IDE Drive 7200rpm (Slave) 512DDR Ram (2) IDE CD-ROM drives (1 is a cd-rewriter other is dvd-rom) Using the Adaptec AIC-7899W controller SCSI Drive has been partitioned for 5gig for Xos and 1gig for swap. When installing RH 8.0 the installation hangs when installing the Aic7XXX driver saying: Kernal Panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler Interrupt handler - not syncing I did try using the older scsi driver in RH 7.1 which got me alittle farther along in the installation but eventually ended up in a kernal panic again like 8.0 did. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot from CD 2.Load in either graphical or text interface (don't matter) 3.Load hangs on installation of driver aic7xxx Expected Results: Driver should be supported in the new version.
Can you try using the v6.2.28 version of the aic7xxx driver? A Driver Update Diskette for RH 8.0 (and other Linux distributions) can be found here: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/DUD/aic7xxx/
How do I go about opening these files? They don't seem to open in WinXP Pro using WinZip or PowerArchiver.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-DISKS I don't recall if gunzip is provided on the CDROM to decompress the image, but many web browsers know how to do this for you. If not, there are versions of gunzip available on the net that run in Win32 OSes.
