So maybe it has something to do with the DAC Bios bios ? What is your Bios version ? BTW i also tried kernel 2.6.15.11 and 2.6.17.x with the same result ! Great !!

regarding to the LSI Homepage we are using the latest Firmware (SwKit 4.04-00) 4.08-37 2/13/01for the DAC960PG/PJ controller. Hi Brian, any hints ??? Hej all, exactly the same happens on my Siemens Primergy P470 with DAC960PJ (Firmware 4.06-0-11) and Debain etch with Kernel 2.6.18-3, DAC960-driver 2.5.48. Firmware too old? Works fine with Debian Sarge, Kernel 2.6.8-3, DAC960-driver 2.5.47. Boris.Andratzek@cation.de From the Source of the driver I learned that those versions of firmware are
valid, so my configuration should be OK....:
/*
Initialize the Controller Firmware Version field and verify that it
is a supported firmware version. The supported firmware versions are:
DAC1164P 5.06 and above
DAC960PTL/PRL/PJ/PG 4.06 and above
DAC960PU/PD/PL 3.51 and above
DAC960PU/PD/PL/P 2.73 and above
*/

I can provide anyone interested with a (root) shell on a test system with DAC960PG (latest BIOS v4.06-0-08) booting off IDE. Right now, i586 SMP 2.6.18 from ALT Linux (built by Sergey Vlasov) is at hand there and basically works (fdisk -l and dd off one of logical drives in RAID7 aka JBOD). PS: vsu@ noticed that this might be an ACPI problem, not DAC960. The test system is dual-PIII Tyan Tiger (230 or so, Apollo Pro133-based) with latest firmware which was crucial for working ACPI/APIC (the only way to get it both running SMP and correctly working with PCI was passing pci=noacpi before BIOS upgrade). Please try to capture what the system is doing at the time it gets wedged, by pressing sysrq-P (sysrq keys are described in Documentation/sysrq.txt in the kernel source). Please report the backtrace here. Hej all, sorry I blew out so much trouble in the world, the (my!) problem is solved by giving 'acpi=off' and 'noapic' to the kernel. So, the hint from Michael was VERY helpful, thank you! Thanks Olaf, too.... Boris Does this mean this bug can be closed? Hej all, from my side, the bug can be closed, but I am not the OP. Boris The bug should be reassigned to ACPI, if Boris and Adam could provide dmesg, /proc/interrupts to start with, from 2.6.8 and a failed kernel. Closing the bug for now. Please reopen if you have further updates. |
