Hallo,
bei der Installation von RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 AS auf einer IBM IntelliStation Pro (Dual Xeon, Adaptec DualChannel U160 SCSI onboard) scheint das System beim Einbinden des Modules AIC7xxx hängenzubleiben. Es reagiert nur noch auf Strg+Alt+Entf und das Umschalten auf die Infokonsolen Alt+F3 und Alt+F4. Das Problem tritt auch auf, wenn an den SCSI Channels keine Verbraucher dranhängen.
In der InfoKonsole F3 zeigt RHEL4 beim Probing an, daß er die beiden Channels gefunden hat, nur das Einbinden des Treiber klappt eben nicht.
Eine Testinstalltion mit WinXP machte keine Probleme und band die SCSI Treiber ordnungsgemäß ein. Somit gehe ich davon aus, daß die Hardware i.O. und richtig konfiguriert ist.
Weiß jmd, woran es liegt und wie ich RHEL trotzdem ordentlich draufkriege?
Danke schonmal und VG

Das wird wohl ein Treiberproblem sein. Ich weiß nicht welche Kernelversion diese Enterprise-version benutzt aber in meinem 2.6.8er Kern von Debian (Linux ist EIN Betriebsystem !) habe ich folgende Treiber AIC7xxx gefunden:
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX: │
│ │
│ This driver supports all of Adaptec's Fast through Ultra 160 PCI │
│ based SCSI controllers as well as the aic7770 based EISA and VLB │
│ SCSI controllers (the 274x and 284x series). For AAA and ARO based │
│ configurations, only SCSI functionality is provided. │
│ │
│ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the │
│ module will be called aic7xxx.
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD: │
│ │
│ WARNING This driver is an older aic7xxx driver and is no longer │
│ under active development. Adaptec, Inc. is writing a new driver to │
│ take the place of this one, and it is recommended that whenever │
│ possible, people should use the new Adaptec written driver instead │
│ of this one. This driver will eventually be phased out entirely. │
│ │
│ This is support for the various aic7xxx based Adaptec SCSI │
│ controllers. These include the 274x EISA cards; 284x VLB cards; │
│ 2902, 2910, 293x, 294x, 394x, 3985 and several other PCI and │
│ motherboard based SCSI controllers from Adaptec. It does not support │
│ the AAA-13x RAID controllers from Adaptec, nor will it likely ever │
│ support them. It does not support the 2920 cards from Adaptec that │
│ use the Future Domain SCSI controller chip. For those cards, you │
│ need the "Future Domain 16xx SCSI support" driver. │
│ │
│ In general, if the controller is based on an Adaptec SCSI controller │
│ chip from the aic777x series or the aic78xx series, this driver │
│ should work. The only exception is the 7810 which is specifically │
│ not supported (that's the RAID controller chip on the AAA-13x │
│ cards). │
│ │
│ Note that the AHA2920 SCSI host adapter is *not* supported by this │
│ driver; choose "Future Domain 16xx SCSI support" instead if you have │
│ one of those. │
│ │
│ Information on the configuration options for this controller can be │
│ found by checking the help file for each of the available │
│ configuration options. You should read │
