The latest kernels (up to 2.6.1.57 ) were no help with this Fusion MPT
SCSI driver hang at boot but thats not surprising after some more
research. The kernel reports the driver version is only 2.05.00 but
the author / maintainer has released patches for 3.00 on Jan 6 to
2.6.1-rc2 here:
http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2004/Jan/1506.html
The 2.05 MPT driver for the 2.4 kernel was released back in March '03.
Anyway I pulled the fusion 3.00.01 down * and recompiled the Fedora
2.6.1.57 with it and the driver hang is fixed. I still can't boot
though as Init won't start due I believe due to some remaining disk
access problem - can't tell. Note that an older FC kenel 2.6.0-32 still
boots fine on the same system. Using selinux=0 in all cases and FC2
rawhide current to 3-4 days ago.
