Description Thomas J. Baker 2004-03-31 15:29:14 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)

Description of problem:
After a clean install of fc2t2 and an upgrade to the latest rawhide, a
reboot finds the kernel hanging during the aic7xxx initialization with
kernel 298. Rebooting to the older kernel-smp-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 kernel
works fine. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.6.4-1.298

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to boot kernel kernel-smp-2.6.4-1.298
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  system hangs

Expected Results:  system boots

Additional info:
Comment 1 Thomas J. Baker 2004-03-31 15:35:09 UTC 
For grins I tried booting the uniprocessor kernel and it booted fine
so it seems SMP related.
Comment 2 Thomas J. Baker 2004-03-31 16:21:53 UTC 
kernel-smp-2.6.4-1.300 hangs in the same way.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-04-01 05:44:50 UTC 
lspci output?

Comment 5 Thomas J. Baker 2004-04-07 13:42:19 UTC 
With the 305 smp kernel after about 1/2 hour of nothing, I get this on
the console (hand typed):

scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message
CDB: 0x12 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x24 0x0
scis0:0:0:0: Command already completed

It does this slowly for each device number (0-15), goes on to the
second bus, does the same thing, eventually boots and panics due to no
root disk.
Comment 6 Thomas J. Baker 2004-04-08 15:50:41 UTC 
The 308 kernel boots and works fine. The changelog doesn't give any
indication that anything related has changed but it works now.
Comment 7 Robert Haas 2004-04-20 16:15:16 UTC 
This may be related to bug 117584.  The aic7xxx seems to have been
intermittently problematic for a long time.
Comment 8 Alan Cox 2004-05-03 14:58:56 UTC 
440GX bug is different. Not sure what this one is, but it looks like
it is having interrupt problems. Does booting with "acpi=off" help ?
Comment 9 Lars Damerow 2004-05-03 21:18:04 UTC 
I was seeing similar symptoms while trying to kickstart Fedora Core 2
test 3 on an SMP aic7xxx machine; adding acpi=off to the kernel options
fixed the problem for me.

cheers,
lars
Comment 10 Dave Jones 2004-12-07 05:49:01 UTC 
ok with current errata kernel ?
Comment 11 Thomas J. Baker 2004-12-07 11:38:20 UTC 
This has been fine for me for a long time right up through the latest rawhide
kernel.
