Description Jonas Lilienthal 2004-04-02 02:54:44 UTC 
I have seen the problem before e.g. Bug #12185
What happens is my system hangs on boot option 'gentoo' because it cannot access my cd-rom as I have SCSI components only. 

If I load 'gentoo doscsi' the system hangs detects my SCSI controller with aic7xxx.o module and hangs on aic7xxx.old.o 

When I boot with 'gentoo' option I can load the module aic7xxx.o but than I do not know how to go on.

Is there any fix to bypass the aic7xxx.old module or to exclude it from the live cd?

Thank you

Jonas

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot with live cd
2. boot option gentoo doscsi
3. wait

Actual Results:  
System hangs on loading aic7xxx.old

Expected Results:  
Continue to boot my machine or time out.

That module is known to be problematic. It is and will remain off current and future live-cd's
