Description Michael Moore 2005-12-01 00:56:06 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:2.6.12
Distribution: Regular Redhat AS4u2
Hardware Environment: Dell 1850/2850/ vmware LSI scsi
Software Environment: 
gcc version 3.4.4

Problem Description:
with general kernel 2.6.14 package from kernel.org, the Fusion MPT (base + 
ScsiHost) drivers not running on SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios 
Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 08) 

with dynamic module loaded by initrd image, that will not driven the scsi.

back port the elder version Fusion MPT driver from 2.6.11 then OS running 
normal. 

Steps to reproduce:
compile kernel by modularize select MPT driver;
make  initrd  image;
restart OS,
the System will be panic preferred: kernel panic no syncing

Comment 2 Eric Moore 2006-01-19 10:31:33 UTC 
Another case of migrating from monolithic to split drivers.

Modify /etc/modprobe.conf

alias scsi_hostadapter mptscsih

to

alias scsi_hostadapter mptspi
