Hi. We have a bunch of - quite old - Compaq ML380 Server equipped with SmartArray/2 SCSI-controller. These are supported by a current Fedora Core 2 (2.6.8-1.521) without trouble.
FEDORA CORE 2 ============= # uname -a Linux dhcp-testlab-254 2.6.8-1.521 #1 Mon Aug 16 09:01:18 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # dmesg: (partial) SCSI subsystem initialized Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.6.0) cpqarray: Device 0x10 has been found at bus 0 dev 1 func 0 cpqarray: Finding drives on ida0 (Integrated Array) cpqarray ida/c0d0: blksz=512 nr_blks=17756160 cpqarray: Starting firmware's background processing ida/c0d0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 > ... EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. EXT3 FS on ida/c0d0p5, internal journal Using the current bootdisk for unattended, fails to discover the attached disk: LINUX-BOOTDISK 4.4 b/c ====================== # uname -a Linux dhcp-testlab-254 2.6.8.1 #1 Sat Aug 14 11:58:41 EDT 2004 i686 unknown # dmesg: (partial) sym.0.1.0: device not supported Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.6.0) cpqarray: Device 0x10 has been found at bus 0 dev 1 func 0 cpqarray: Finding drives on ida0Using anticipatory io scheduler cpqarray ida0: idaSendPciCmd Timeout out, No command list address returned! cpqarray: error sending ID controller cpqarray: Starting firmware's background processing cpqarray ida0: idaSendPciCmd Timeout out, No command list address returned! cpqarray: Unable to start background processing I have set acpi=off with no difference. With a look at the line stating "Using anticipatory io scheduler", that is different from the message in Fedora Core 2, i forced the kernel to use scheduler = anticipatory | deadline | noop. Again without changes - beside stating that the kernel using the mentioned scheduler. Help / guidance for the next steps i can try is apreciated.
