Subject: [Kernel 2.4.26] Booting from Adaptec PCI-X 133 29320 Rev C

Hello everyone,

we can not boot from an "Adaptec PCI-X 133 29320 Rev C" device when
using 2.4.26. We get a kernel panic and that the kernel could not
mount root (VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03). With 2.4.25
everything works properly (its the same config) but we need the
security patches included in 2.4.26.

I have not found any entries in the changelog about changes in the
scsi drivers.

Thanks in advance,

Jason Brian Friedrich

Jason, can you please save the boot messages from both 2.4.25 and 2.4.26?

Maybe you have a serial console around or at least you copy the relevant
parts (the card detection success with 2.4.25 and the card detection failure
with 2.4.26), plus the config files for both cases, and send us?

That would be helpful. There are no aic7xxx changes in 2.4.26. Are you using ACPI?

Hi Marcelo,

i will send you the boot messages from both kernels today as soon as
possible. I think we have some serial consoles here so that it should
be possible to give you the information about the card detection.
Should i send you the config files via email (also to the list?) or
should i put them on a server so you can download them? I dont know
which way you prefer. And yes, we are using ACPI.

So far,

Jason Brian Friedrich
