Greetings Aurora Users! My brother gave me an RS214 (I think) 7 bay array with 9.1GB drives in it, and I bought a qlogic PTI ISP SBUS SCSI differential card for $9 to drive it with my SS5. I tried to install aurora2.0b2 using CD on the SS5 (170 with 160MB) of ram, but got a kernel panic whenever I had the raid array powered up with the drives installed. No error resulted if I pulled all the drives out -- the installation program loaded the qlogic driver, immediately followed by the esp driver. I tried insmod-ing the qlogic module on my existing SS4 aurora2.0b2 installation, but it also paniced the kernel whenever the harddrives were powered on -- although I did get to see the text of the kernel panic. I got a little icon giving me a rasberry, then lots of trash that was unintelligible to me. Here's the bottomline -- the array works fine in debian sparc, 2.4.27-2-sparc32 kernel. I can access every drive; seems to be stable. I would infinitely prefer aurora, but I don't want to do without this cool raid array (my wife says it's not noisy enough in the server closet yet). Is there a problem with the qlogicpti driver in the red hat source tree, or is it a 2.6 kernel incompatibility? Does anyone have any intel on this one? Thanks in advance!
