 Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2004 2:08 am Post subject: Fixed: Gentoo on old hardware? |
 |
|
I currently have a rack full of Dual P3 400MHz servers. They have QLogic ISP1020 SCSI controllers, and NE2000 ISA NICs. Is this something that Gentoo will support and detect?
I would like to migrate all 8 of the machines to Gentoo, but it isn't coorperating with my right now. When I boot from the LiveCD (2.4 or Experimental 2.6) the kernel panics when scanning the qlogicisp device.
If I don't pass the noscsi option to the kernel, it never sees the QLogic controller, but boots fine. But I then have no disks to install to.
I posted this here as well, but felt it might be more appropriate in this topic.
Thanks.

Also wanted to note that I think it is the Linux kernel, because Debian install CD will not boot just like Gentoo. Also FBSD 4.9R and 5.0R both see the QLogic 1020 without issues.
I search bugzilla, no matches. Anyone else have the same problem with QLogic 1020s?
Thanks.

Another thing I noticed was the following...
| Code: |
blk: queue c0179080, I/O Limit 4095Mb (mask 0xfffffffff)
|
4095MB is the size of the SCSI drive attached to the QLogic 1020 ISP controller... don't know if this is going somewhere.
I also noticed this
| Code: |
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kmod: failed to exec: /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
kmod: failed to exec: /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
kmod: failed to exec: /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
|
And when I select noscsi and boot the LiveCD my lspci shows the controller.
| Code: |
00:09.0 SCSI storage controller: QLogic Corp. ISP1020 Fast-wide SCSI (rev 01)
|
So how do I access the disk then? There is not /dev/sda and /dev/scsi is empty.
Thanks. |

| i noticed from the other thread that you are using the SMP boot option off the live cd...try removing that option (you can bootstrap, and build with only 1 cpu then while configuring the kernel, enable SMP).. I noticed that the SMP kernel on the livecd is a older kernel... That one panics on me also (hyperthreading enabled P4).... |

|

since i am not running kernel 2.4 anymore, i cant say anything for 2.4, but in the scsi/drivers/low-level drivers section of the kernel;
CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP:
│
│ This driver works for all QLogic PCI SCSI host adapters (IQ-PCI,
│ IQ-PCI-10, IQ_PCI-D) except for the PCI-basic card. (This latter
│ card is supported by the "AM53/79C974 PCI SCSI" driver.)
│
│ If you say Y here, make sure to choose "BIOS" at the question "PCI
│ access mode".
│
│ Please read the file <file:Documentation/scsi/qlogicisp.txt>. You
│ should also read the SCSI-HOWTO, available from
│ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
│
│ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
│ module will be called qlogicisp. |

Ok, I attempted to load the qlogicisp module using modprobe and here is the output I received back.
| Code: |

All these servers currently run FreeBSD 4.9, here is the dmesg trimmed for relavance.
| Code: |

I tried both 2.4 and 2.6 LiveCDs using non-smp and smp kernels. Same results. |

I managed to get this issue fixed. The qlogicisp.o that is compiled from any of the 2.x linux sources is borked.
I downloaded the isp_mod from http://www.feral.com/isp.html and compiled and installed them without a hitch. Now my controller and hard drives work like a charm.
Thanks. |
