Re: Can't boot on a machine with LSI Logic 53C1030 Raid controller
Hi:
The one I have is the LSI Logic Fusion 53C1030. That's what Redhat finds
when I boot up with RH 8.0. Regarding the error that the module reports,
this is what it says:
'The loading has failed' in the installation screen, and when I go to the
messages screen, I see this:
[date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: Warning: loading
mptbase.o will taint the kernel: forced load
[date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptbase.o: init_module:
No such device
[date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: Hint: insmod errors can
be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters
[date, and time] (none) user.err dbootstrap[80]: The loading has failed
Therefore, it seems that it wants me to pass it some parameters. I then
try to install mptscsih.o, but I get a lot of error messages (I assume the
mptbase.o has to be sucessfully loaded first):
[date, and time] (none) user.info dbootstrap[80]: mptscsih.o: unresolved

The question is - which controller is it? LSI Logic Fusion or
Symbios-based series? For Symbios, you could try the ncr* driver.

It is hard to say what is going wrong without having such hardware to
test and without knowing what actually the module reports to you.
Gruss/Regards,
