Summary:   New LSI MegaRAID driver fails when ACPI is not present
Description:
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur:n/a
Distribution:gentoo
Hardware Environment:i686
Software Environment:gcc 4.1.1, glibc 2.5
Problem Description:
during kernel boot, with noacpi option, megaraid driver detects and attempts to
start the controller. it fails and goes into an endless loop of error "waiting
for N commands to finish" and reset sequences.

Steps to reproduce:
boot kernel with acpi disabled using noacpi boot parameter. NOTE this will not
fail on SMP machines because ACPI is always required. This test is valid only
on single processor machines.

Is this still happening in 2.6.21?

Thanks.
