Hi, not sure if this list is the right way to look for help - but lets give it a try ;-).
I am running openSuSE with Kernel 2.6.22.12-0.1-xen #1 SMP 2007/11/06 23:05:18 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. The RAID Controller I am using is Adaptec 2400A with four 400GB HDDs as RAID5. In the past I was running standard 32bit kernels without any problems.. Now I moved on to 64bit and I have two problems: 1. If I have more then 3999MB in the system - no partitions can be read. A workaround was to set mem=3999M as boot parameter. But now I have 8 GB memory and I want to use it. If I compile the i2o_block without 64bit support - I can also read the partitions without the workaround. --> It would be much better to have a real fix for this.. 2. I have large size files on the device >11 GB (XEN domUs). When I do a md5sum on that files (while the domU is not started) - I get different results for each try (the file stays the same) ! This is really critical because it looks as if there is a data corruption problem on 64bit systems with the i2o_core or i2o_block. After some more testing - even with SLES 10 SP1 - I found out, that the second problem exists with all XEN kernels except the standard 32Bit kernel without PAE ! If I do not use a kernel with XEN support - I do not have the problem ! So it seems there is a bug when using XEN together with i2o. Now I have the question - how can I get this problem fixed ?
