Description David Deaderick 2003-03-31 00:29:02 EST

Description of problem: 
Cannot install RH Linux 7.3 from floppy, or boot Kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x, on a 
Dell PowerEdge SP5133-2 with Hard Drives on an Adaptec AHA-2740 EISA SCSI Host 
adapter.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Will not work with RH 7.3 Boot floppy or RH 7.1 with kernel update (2.4.18-
27.7.x)  System will boot with Linuc bak (2.4.2-2) from 7.1 installation.

How reproducible:
Reproduce every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot from 7.3 floppy
2.  Load driver disk
3.  Embedded NCR 53c810 SCSI with CD-ROM is detected
4.  Does not detect Adaptec controller.  Will not
    
Actual results:
System hangs during boot or keeps asking for device with harddrives during 
install


Expected results:
Detects AHA-2740 and loads driver.

Additional info:
I have already tried the aic7xxx_old driver, in new kernel, does not help.
Sounds similar to other aic7xxx issues, but none of their solutions appear to 
resolve problem.

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/
