Re: Fedora Core 3

[Ice_Cold]

Thats the firmware revision I'm running its the newest Adaptec has.    As 
far as running no acpi on this computer you can't.   All that happens when 
you try is that the computer freaks out and keeps rebooting before it even 
starts to get past the point where the OS would load.

Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S firmware v7349 update to original release version

ALT + F3   shows
parted exception error : error opening /dev/sda : No such device or 
address

Some Googling shows this to be a known problem. There is a similar 
problem report here <http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/14/169>. One suggestion 
found here <http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/14/192> seems to be to look for 
a newer driver module from Adaptec.

There may be some additional tips to try here 
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119541>, 
specifically the "mem=3900MB" kernel option.

This seems to be a good example of why closed-source drivers suck 
(Adaptec has only recently even recognized the existence of Linux).
This looks eerily similar to your setup: 
<http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.3/1373.html>

Here's a thread 
<http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.3/1304.html> that 
suggests upgrading the firmware on your RAID controller.

===========
BTW, I am using this search string in Google: "aacraid : Host adapter 
appears dead" to get these results.
