[Bug 37639] FL6 hangs after install on STL2 board using Adaptec 2100S in RAID-1

[Ferdinando Cosentino]

Public bug reported:

Affects: Ubuntu
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Rejected
Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Major
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Confirmed


Description:
I installed Flight 6 on a Intel Serverboard STL2 with 2 x Pentium III 1
GHz, 2 Gbytes RAM and 2 x 18 Gb SCSI disks using Adaptec 2100S I2O SCSI
controller in RAID-1.

It hangs at startup on "Waiting for root filesystem". It cannot find
partition (but it was able to find & format it during installation).

Another error worth mentioning is that during startup it claims that it
cannot reserve PCI mem region #1. However, it correctly identifies the
SCSI controller and the drives attached to it.

1. Live CD FL6 works, even after installing it permanently to HDD.
2. Latest Mandriva works.
3. Ubuntu 5.10 doesn't work (it crashes on startup)

I always had issues with Ubuntu and that server machine, I hope you can
fix this - otherwise I will have to continue to use Mandriva.
