[RHEL6.2] 2.6.32-220 kernel hangs on bootup on HP DL385G6 with HP Smart Array P410 controller and hpsa driver

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • After upgrading to RedHat 6.2, the new kernel (2.6.32-220) doesn't boot.
  • The same machine boots fine on 6.1.z kernel 2.6.32-131.21.1
  • While loading the hpsa driver the following messages appear

        HP HPSA Driver (v 2.0.2-3)
        hpsa 0000:48:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 33 (level, low) -> IRQ 33
        Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason a1 on CPU 0.
        You have some hardware problem, likely on the PCI bus.
        Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
