Hi,
following system:
Dell PE2650, 2 2.4ghz Xeon, 1gb ram, Dell Perc4DC Controller
It has EL5 installed, but I wanted to change to Centos because of the
missing workstation packages in the entry server repository.
The system was redhat up2date until yesterday, so the latest kernel was
missing.
I changed redhat-release to centos-release packages and the new centos
kernel was installed the via yum.
This kernel does not boot.
Error messages:
i20:iop0: Get status timeout
i20:iop0: Reset timeout
i20:iop0: could not reset controller
i20:iop0: Reset timeout
kernel panic
Here are my findings when setting emulation in scsi adapter bios to i2o:
- initial redhat el5 install fails, no adapter found (mayby centos
install is affected, too, have to set to 'mass storage' to install)
- redhat's kernel-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 and kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 boot with
i20 enabled
- centos latest 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 does not! error messages above
- setting to 'mass storage' all is fine
Is this really a centos kernel problem (I read in centos kernel
changelog about special centos changes), or is this for any reason
because this is actually a redhat system?
Thx
Rainer
