Great!

I tried it with 'noapic' and my SMP kernel with the aic7xxx driver works!

Well, I had to explicitly load the kernel WITH apic from the install-CD to get aic7xxx recognised. This is a L440GX dual PIII-450 mobo with AIC7896 controller on-board, with 2x IBM DDRS-39130 drives. System complained about not having harddrives with standard install-kernel, after an initialization of 30 minutes. But I got the thing running and installed, some minor glitches in config to resolve now :-)

Everybody a great thanx for all their input on this tricky one..... Now I have them (system management) convinced they must use SuSE again instead of RH :-)

Here a lot of thks too, it is always a learning experience.

Hello.

I think I must have missed the original thread, as this appears to jump into the middle of a problem.

I have installed SuSE (6.2 onwards) on many systems with a variety of Adaptec cards. My latest installation was on an older IBM PC Server 704 with a pair of on-board 7880 controllers. They were detected just fine.

I have seen a problem like this on RAID cards using 7xxx controllers when I forgot to add noapic to the lilo boot prompt. Disableapic never made a difference, but noapic worked first time.

Bye for now, Stuart.

Pfffff..... just had RH removed from the system and did a final try. With the aic7xxx_old, because I didn't tried it before, but AGAIN it failed. I'm getting very dissapointed, because of this failure.

Adaptec is the leading company in SCSI boards and SuSE doesn't support it!!!

I cannot understand why SuSE isn't trying to fix this BIG problem. And it becomes much more painful to see that it works with RH on the fly!
