I hate to cross post but I am really up a creek with this server and am
quickly running out of options. Could you all take a look through this
email and see if anything catches your eye?

Subject: Tyan S2469UGN with onboard AIC7902 and Redhat 8.0
How to stat this question?
System Layout:
Motherboard: Tyan S2469 Thunder K7X Pro with dual onboard
Adapted AIC7902 SCSI controllers
BIOS Revision: 1.01
Add in PCI Cards: 1 Qlogic 2200a Fiber CHannel Controller
Drives Attach to SCSI: 4 Seagate ST1916WC 3.5 inch full height SCSI drives
AIC7902 drivers: aic79xx-1.1.0-athlon-rh80.img.gz
Computer Case: 2U ATX case with dual 400 watt power supplies
There is nothing else actually attached to this system. And for right now
there is nothing plugged in to the Qlogic 2200 card
I have pretty much exhausted the resources through Tyan. Even their linux
"guru" says that is should be a seamless install after tying in linux dd
at the install prompt.
On install when I get to disk druid or fdisk or auto partition the system
has a tendancy to hang (about 75%) of the time. I have tried going in and
using third party drivers for the Qlogic card and this made no
difference. I have also tried removing the Qlogic card. The Hard Drives
have been lowleved on another system with an Adaptec 2940UW and they test
good. The AIC7902 SCSI bios tests the drive as good and has no problems
lowleveling them (although it does take a little longer (about 10 minutes
per drive longer)). I have done everything I can think of from replacing
the hard drives with known good drives, to lowleveling all of them on the
actual system itself. I can think of no other reason that the system
would be hanging at this point.
I have also tried to install redhat 7.2 on these systems and the
drivers that tyan provided for 7.2 do not work at all. There is some
error in the driver source around line 6253. I initially thought it may
be a driver issue and that is still a likely scenario but since I really
have no other choice than to use redhat on this system I am pretty much
backed up against a way. Has anyone out there had any experience with
these boards and if so how did they work. Were there any tweaks that you
had to do to get the system stable? Are there known bugs that I just
have not been able to ferret out anywhere on the net? Any help or input
would be greatly appreciated.
