Greetings, I've just set up a Supermicro dual xeon box with an onboard AIC 7902 controller with RedHat 7.3 (I'd love to use RH Enterprise 3 on this box, but I have legacy software I can't abandon won't run on anything newer than 7.3). Naturally, as the stock kernel doesn't support the 7902, I had to install using a driver disk. No problem there, the machine came up without a hitch. However, when I attempt to upgrade the kernel, using YUM via the fedora legacy system, the newer kernel can't boot past initialization of my 7902. It recognizes the controller (and both of it's channels) in an apparently normal way, (though the driver, 1.0.0?) complains: MEM region 0x0 unavailable Finally, after about a minute, I get an error: abort called for cmd c24dbe00 and everything stops. The upgraded fedora legacy kernel I'm trying to install is: 2.4.20-37.7.legacy (SMP) Strangely enough, I have a nearly identical box I set up about a year ago, which went through the same upgrade process without a hitch, albeit going through official RedHat kernel upgrades before they abandoned 7.3 and I started moving into the fedora legacy stuff. I still get the error: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 aic79xx: PCI3:1:0 MEM region 0x0 unavailable. Cannot memory map device. aic79xx: PCI3:1:1 MEM region 0x0 unavailable. Cannot memory map device. scsi0 : Adaptec AIC79XX PCI-X SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 1.0.0 when booting, but it boots just fine regardless. I've tried installing the updated 7902 driver via RPM (I got this from Justin's site) after installing the later kernel and source, but I get several error messages complaining that the RPM doesn't have any prebuilt modules for my newer kernel version when I try to install it. If anyone can provide any suggestions as to how to move forward here, I'd greatly appreciate it. TIA for any and all responses, --Duncan
