SubjectSMP Kernel and SCSI problem at boot
From
Hello,
excuse my (old) question, but I have a big problem with kernel 2.4.21-4.EL
and SMP+SCSI (Red Hat), in a critical running server.

Trying to boot the server with SMP version (2.4.21-4.ELsmp)
the system sleep over "SCSI DAT detect".

This is the report of dmesg in NOT SMP version:
---------------------------------

With SMP boot, the system stops its startup with:

Looking around this problemsSomeone wrote:

...Dumping the ahd state when probing the da and simply stopped.
So I set the SCSI BIOS to restrict the device speed upto 80MB/s and
the problem went away.
After that, the machine runs flawlessly for 8 months.


Can You help me?

Best Regards
