 Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2003 2:13 pm Post subject: aacraid (perc3/di) - grub - kernel panic |
 |
|
I'm trying to reboot a Dell PowerEdge 1650 after successful installation. I've got mirrored disks (raid1), hardware raid. I've also compiled the kernel with SMP support per the Linux SMP HOWTO. The 1.4_rc2 Live CD detects my raid controller fine with "modprobe aacraid". My boot loader is GRUB.
But on reboot the kernel panics:
| Code: |
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda6" or 08:06
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:06
|
The following error occurs before the panic:
| Code: | | kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 |
My partition scheme: | Code: |
/boot /dev/sda2
swap /dev/sda3
/tmp /dev/sda5
/ /dev/sda6
/var /dev/sda7
|
/dev/sda1 contains Dell Utilities. /dev/sda4 is the extended partition.
Grub setup: | Code: |
# grub
> root (hd0,1)
> setup (hd0)
> quit
|
GRUB's grub.conf:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
title="Gentoo Linux MPU AACRAID"
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda6
|
I've tried /dev/scsi/.... and /dev/sd/.... too.
Could anybody please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Try just:
| Code: |
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda6.
|
in your grub.conf |

Sorry for forgetting to mention it: I've tried that, same error.

Silly mistake on my part, oh my. I had compiled all adaptec drivers but the aacraid into the kernel.
Just to put some info into this thread:
Compile aacraid (PERC 3/di) into the kernel:
| Code: |
#make menuconfig
scsi support --->
SCSI low-level drivers --->
Adaptec AACRAID support (experimental)
