I recently installed Fedora Core 2 on a Dell PowerEdge 2400 server that
previously ran Red Hat 9. The installation appears to proceed
normally. The problem is it never boots entirely. It hangs with the
following as the last message (after removing quiet mode):
Loading sd_mod.ko module
Loading aic7xxx.ko module
So I think this might be related to the SCSI adapter(s) I have in the
machine. I have searched far and wide on this great world wide web of
ours and have found many issues that seem related. I have even posted
messages on this mailing list when I thought it was a different
problem. I am starting a new thread with a (hopefully) clearer
subject.
Many people said they had this error back in Red Hat 7 and again now.
Many offer suggestion of including "acpi=force" when booting. This
didn't work for me. I even tried FC3 Test 1 hoping that the issue
would have been addressed, but that didn't work either.
Has anyone experienced this and have they found a workaround?
Thanks,
