New: Kernel 3.11.1 and higher does not boot on VMware VM
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62971
Bug ID: 62971
Summary: Kernel 3.11.1 and higher does not boot on VMware VM
Product: SCSI Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 3.11.1
Hardware: i386
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: BUSLOGIC
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: NoSee downstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015558
It seems that changes to BusLogic driver in 3.11 may have caused this problem.
An interesting link, including a patch, is here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg69044.html
AFAICT, it has not been merged into mainline or stable yet.
PS. Note that I am not in a very good position to test, bisect etc., because I do not control the VMware installation, only the Fedora guest OS. However, there are folks in the downstream bug that can test.

That patch fixes commit 839cb99e8f748391059d10388c8aea48a88c142c, which seem to have introduced the problem.
