Bug 20292 – 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 aic7xxx and aic79xxx don't find adaptec 29160 controller

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timo Boettcher 2003-05-01 17:02:03 UTC]

The modules aic7xxx and aic79xxx of 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 don't find my adaptec 29160 
controllers. They do find the onboard controller of my Supermicro 370de6 
mainboard, though (http://www.supermicro.
com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/RCC_HE_SL/370DE6.htm)


The problem does not occur with vanilla-sources-2.4.20.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 with aic7xxx and aic79xxx support (not as 
module)


2. boot with that kernel





Actual Results:  
onboard controller are found, adaptec 29160 cards not.


Expected Results:  
all controllers should be found (as they are with vanilla sources)


Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4)

do you have acpi in the kernel? if so, boot passing 'acpi=off' and let me know if that helps.

i cannot reproduce this unless acpi is on... i am closing this bug as acpi seems to be the fix. please reopen if you still have issues.

Both (vanilla and gentoo) have acpi enabled. While all works with vanilla, that is not true for gentoo.
Then again, I'd like to keep acpi...

[Comment 4 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) 2003-05-03 14:18:31 UTC]

we have a much updated acpi than vanilla. this is a hardware issue. check with you vendor 
for an updated bios for your serverworks chipset - it is the problem. until then, set ACPI=off 
if you want it to work with gentoo-sources. 
 
closing.
