During install, FC2 found the LSI U160 scsi card driver right away. I'm really happy with the performance.

This applies to the integrated controller on my motherboard (LSI Logic C896 Dual SCSI controller on the AMI MegaRUM II motherboard)

Although I have yet to reach a conclusion about what is the problem, here's a brief description of it: the system won't boot with the sym53c8xx module loaded PROVIDED AN SMP KERNEL IS USED.

When it comes to the 2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp stock kernel which comes with CentOS 4.0, the system will boot if I provide the noapic option to the kernel. This leads to the conclusion that it might be a buggy BIOS issue which only affects my motherboard.

However I have not succeded in booting any other 2.6 smp kernel, even with the noapic option (including a compilation of the 2.6.11.7 kernel using the CentOS 4.0 smp stock .config file as a base for my final .config file).
