http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524462 Summary: Installation crashes when attempting to load the eata module when a DPT PM2044W scsi host adapter is present Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suse1@mariana.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; U; en; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0 Opera 9.64 When installing 64 bit SUSE 11.1 the install gets to "loading basic drivers", shows the DPT PM2044W, says the driver is eata, shows that it is loading the driver , and the machine reboots. This happens with the 64 bit DVD. With the 32 bit DVD it just hangs at the same point. Same with the 32 bit KDE CD. This happens in three different machines with different motherboards/CPUs. Specifing the 'brokenmodules=eata' boot option allows the installation to proceed but it does not recognize the scsi disk connected to the DPT. Attempting to load the module manually with 'modprobe -v eata' causes the system to hang. On a SUSE 11.0 system it fails to load the module at boot time. Attempting to load manually with 'modprobe -v eata' returns a segmentation fault and hangs the system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install DPT PM2044W card 2. boot with any SUSE 11.1 installation CD/DVD 3. Actual Results: System hangs or reboots depending on the version (32 bit hangs, 64 bit reboots) Expected Results: A sucessful installation This seems to be fixed in the current 11.2 Milestone 3 (Build0148-i686) build. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
