Hi Harry, Thank you for your information, do you know any patch to resolve the problem? Thanks, -Zhu Yi -----Original Message----- From: Berge, Harry ten [mailto:berge@hitt.nl] Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 5:06 PM To: SuSE general (E-mail) Cc: 'yi.zhu@intel.com' Subject: RE: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 cannot boot with aic7xxx and SMP Hi, See earlier postings. The problem lies in the fact that there goes something wrong with acpi in combination of a SMP kernel and the aic7xxx driver. However, the solution is very simple: add the option 'noapic' to your grub/lilo boot kernel options and everything should work fine! Regards Harry

Hi All,
I recently installed SuSE 8.1 on my server (dual PIII 933, 512 ram, tsrtl2 arch, scsi disk). The installation is successful, but after it rebooted with the new vmlinuz-2.4.19-64GB-SMP kernel, it went to a dead loop (for about 5~8 minutes) when loading aic7xxx.o driver and finally ended with a kernel panic. The error message is as follow:
---BEGIN--- SCSI 0: Dumping Carding state while idle, at SEQADDR 0x8 ACCUM = 0x3, SINDEX = 0x48, DINDEX = 0xe4, ARG_2 = 0x0 HCNT = 0x0 SCBPTR = 0x0 SCSISEQ = 0x12, SBLKCTL = 0xa DFCNTRL = 0x0, DFSTATUS = 0x89 LASTPHASE = 0x1, SCSISIGI = 0x0, SXFRCTL0 = 0x80
...
Pending List: 3(c 0x50, s 0x67, 1 0) Kernel Free SCB list: 1 0 Untagged Q(6):3 DevQ(0:6:0): 0 waiting Kernel panic: for safety ---END---
But after I added the kernel parameter "nosmp" for the kernel in grub, it booted successfully. And I have tried recompiling the kernel source in SuSE 8.1 disk2. Everytime I opened SMP support (both for 4GB and 64GB), it will run into the same phenomena as above. While without SMP support, everything goes well. So I wonder is there something wrong with the aic7xxx.o driver and SMP support in SuSE 8.1?
