https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196707 Bug ID: 196707 Summary: Adaptec ICP9087MA: aacraid prints "AAC: Host adapter is dead (or got a PCI error) -1" twice times around errors of aacraid and the kernel crashes after starting the "Kernel Device Manager" Product: SCSI Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.12.8 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: AACRAID Assignee: scsi_drivers-aacraid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: kernel.org@xxxxxxxxxx CC: a@xxxxxxxxxxxx, arekm@xxxxxxxx, bugzie@xxxxxxxxxxx, chrismac@xxxxxxxxxx, davygrvy@xxxxxxxxx, harold@xxxxxxx, he001@xxxxxxxxxx, hm10439@xxxxxxxxx, rodrigoaguileraparraga@xxxxxxxxx, scnaifeh@xxxxxxxxxxx, scsi_drivers-aacraid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 258013 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=258013&action=edit Kernel output of 3 kernel starts with connected / disconnected HDDs and different kernels +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #151661 +++ Hi, my english language is not so good. I hope you understand what I write here. The kernel 4.12.8 crashes after errors from aacraid and after the start of the "kernel device manager" when I connect 8 HDDs (power on) to the ICP9087MA-RAID-Controller. (See attachment 0_...) The crash is before the Kernel opens log files in /var/log. I found NO entries in the log files. So I configure grub (in /etc/default/grub) and the kernel to use the serial line (/dev/ttyS0, COM1) as the console. On my Notebook I capture the serial output of the starting kernel with minicom. If I disconnect the 8 HDDs (power off) the kernel 4.12.8 starts normal and I can use the system but without the two Host drives (2 x RAID-5) of the ICP9087MA. (See attachment 1_...) When I use different kernels of version 3.x.x (from kernel.org or Debian) all works fine when the 8 HDDs are connected to the ICP9087MA-Raid-Controller. (See attachment 2_...)
