I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with this hardware/driver and/or kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL. If this is a new mptscsih problem I will post more details of my system but I thought I would start with just a general question in case I missed something.
I have not seen this particular problem ... do you want to try the new 2.6.9-27.EL kernel that was released as part of EL4-u3beta
Also, verify you have the latest BIOS updates from you motherboard.
Alas, I have the original BIOS installed. I was checking and it does appear there are BIOS updates available. I always hate the idea of flashing a ROM given the implications of something going wrong. However, I was just checking /var/log/dmesg and am seeing things like:
mtrr: v2.0 (20020519) mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs. mtrr: corrected configuration.
BIOS failed to enable PCI standards compliance, fixing this error.
so perhaps I have a root cause to address.
I may just try the beta kernel anyhow ... if it doesn't work I will be able to capture the actual mptscsih error message. :(
