I'm having trouble running Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 server on a
system with an Adaptec ASR-2010S-48MB raid controller.
I have to install with linux noprobe and add the i2o_block driver in
order to recognize the arrays and complete the installation. The
installation process completes normally.
After installation, on initial boot the system hangs. I can avoid the
hangs by disabling the readahead and readahead_later services. If I
run the readahead processes in combination with strace by hand I
witness a report of a spurious interrupt from the i2o driver. After
the error, running processes function but any attempt at drive IO
hangs the process until the system is unusable.
Possibly related during the boot process two error messages:
PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource .... for ....
Where the devices are the:
PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82870P2 P64H2 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 04)
RAID bus controller: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartRAID V Controller
(rev 01)
I would appreciate any suggestions or comments on installations with
the same controller.
Thanks,
Brent.
