[Linux-ia64] Linux 2.4.4 boot hangs at "SCSI(0): Verifying chip ..."

[Linux-ia64] Linux 2.4.4 boot hangs at "SCSI(0): Verifying chip ..."

[Verkist, Bruno]

Hello,

Booting my Lion Qual with SuSE 7.2a RC1 (2.4.4-SMP) sporadically hangs at
scsi(0): verifying chip ...

After that I only can do a powercycle or reset the machine.
I know this problem has been discussed in [linux-ia64] with kernel 2.4.5
but with no clear result.

Im using the "native" qla1280 3.23 Beta.

Regards,
Bruno

I wonder if you have the 64bit support enabled for the QLA in the setup. 
You must make sure that it is enabled. Press F2 and check it out.

I sent a message about this problem to the list some time ago.  I power
cycled the system and it never recurred.  Works OK now.

Shouldn't need that anymore (the qla1280 driver sets up 64-bit addressing
when on a 64-bit system).  I've seen this occasionally.  Easiest to
reproduce it if you do repeated reboots until it fails.  In my case, it
would repeat the Red Hat installer between 9 and 30 times before failing,
but haven't been able to track it down yet.

Thanks,
Matt

That should not make any difference.  The QLA driver now enables that
automatically.

Man, you've got a lot of patience! ;-)
