I was able to install the system but I'm not able to boot from. At the point were in initrd the udevd processes the data from the worker kernel threads the aic7xxx will be caused to reset its scsi bus. I was able to access the system with the resuce boot option of the DVD from openSUSE 11.3, but even the kernel of the 11.3 show exactly the same problem if booted from the disk. Using the rescue option of the DVD from openSUSE 11.4 causes the same resets as booting from disk. Wild guess: the aic7xxx driver does not accept any access of the tagged data queue for the devices on its SCSI bus during the hardware. It looks like there are some locks missed between the aic7xxx driver and the upper SCSI transport layer. This may cause during the hardware scan the resets in the aic7xxx driver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
