do i need CONFIG_SATA_AHCI for my chipset? i've tried that too, with the same result though.

There's no need to do that. Since the live-cd must try to support all hardware, it uses genkernel and includes modules for all SATA controllers. You only need to enable the support for your specific controller - which we've determined to be Intel ICH6.
Do you still get the same error message? Hasn't it changed at all? If not, please post the output of fdisk -l and mount and the contents of /etc/fstab.

You seem to have activated the correct driver for your controller. I don't think you need the driver for the PROMISE cards, but if you do, you should probably compile it in the kernel <*> and not as a module <M>.
From your first comment, how did you compile your 2.6.19 kernel? Did you copy the .config file from the 2.6.18 kernel to the 2.6.19 tree? AFAIK, there were substantial changes between the 2.6.18 and the 2.6.19 kernel trees in regards to the SATA support. I would suggest you either use the make oldconfig option or, probably safest, that you start with the default config for the 2.6.19 kernel and do all config through make menuconfig.

the PROMISE is in as a module, because i've got an add-in sata controller, i don't use very often (but still).
i ALWAYS copy .config and then do a make oldconfig (is copying the .config redundant?).

The point is that copying .config between kernel versions, specially when there's substantial changes to the tree, can create problems. To use make oldconfig you don't need / shouldn't copy the .config file. I suggest you clean the 2.6.19 tree, make clean, run make oldconfig, check the config with make menuconfig and compile the kernel again. If that doesn't work, I would suggest you start with an empty .config file and set all options through make menuconfig.

Arla,
to paste in the console, emerge gpm, select the text you want to copy, move to the new window and press the middle mouse-button or the two buttons at once, if you have a two buttons mouse.
Do you have an USB/firewire disk or a card-reader? If so, that would explain the disk being seen by the live-cd as /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda.
Please include your complete grub.conf file.

I am using the minimal, GUI-free install livecd, if that matters. I can copy and paste with the mouse between terminals (before and after emerging gpm), but not into Links.
And no, it's a "regular" hard drive.
grub.conf:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.18-r6
root (hd0,0)

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sdb5 init=/bin/bb

Try using root=/dev/sda5. Does it work?

Arla,
Play with grubs command line editor. When the grub splash screen comes up, press 'e'.
Now you can try tab completion to see what drives grub sees.
Navigate to the line and put the cursor over the drive number, press tab.
Grub will list your drives. choose one (if you have more than one) and put the cursor over the partition.
Press tab and grub will list the partitions on the drive.
By trying all the drives and looking at their partitions, you can usually determine whats what.

Another option is to chroot into your system and to emerge nopaste. You can use that to paste files or the output of some command into http://www.rafb.net - then you can include the link here.

Done this, too. The list of partitions for my only drive is just as expected, so I guess there's no reason to change the numbers there. Or maybe the reason is that I'm desperate for it to work |

Omg. I just did that again, just to make sure. Which was good, because it worked this time! I must have changed something else too, last time. 
Anyhow, it seems like it now recognises the disk as sda, so I'd better go through the installation manual to change every sdb to sda. I'll return later. |

Wow. It works well now. The only file I had to edit was /etc/fstab.
Conclusion: LiveCD recognised my only SATA drive as sdb (which was weird), while GRUB and the newly installed system recognised it as sda. Also, I probably enabled some necessary SATA drivers in the kernel.
Thank you, NeddySeagoon and jmbsvicetto, for your help. |

well i made a fresh config for the kernel. still the same result. i've tried various settings for (hdx,y), but (hd0,0) is the one and only choice. i've also tried different device names (sda1-5 and sdb1-6) and even tried the hex value of the device node (ls -l /dev/sda3). maybe it would help, if i could see, what the kernel spills out, when he loads the sata driver. is there a way to get the log after a kernel panic?

If you want to see some messages during the boot process, try going to VT11/VT12 - ALT+F11/ALT+F12.
Is that what you're looking for?

actually no. the VT's are not available at that time. i want to see the output of the kernel loading the sata driver. i can't switch to another terminal and i can't scroll up. also the system hangs after the kernel panic, so i can't check the logs.

Have you taken a look at the RC_BOOTLOG option in /etc/conf.d/rc? That might do the trick.

| Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 6:14 am Post subject: grub + raid1 + error 15 |
|
|
I am following the raid install docs (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml) and everything goes smoothly until the reboot. When I try to boot, I get the grub error 15. I checked and this should indicate that the file does not exist, spelling problems, or a corrupt file/filesystem.
I have checked that the file is there, it is. I have checked the spelling and it is correct. I have copied the bzImage file over a dozen times, rebuilt the kernel half a dozen time and rebuilt the entire system from blank disks three or four times and I still get the same error. This leads me to believe that, if the file is corrupt, then it is being corrupted during the cp process or in the creation process. Is there a tool that can check the integrity of the bzImage file?
The other options, as I see them, is that grub cannot boot from a raid volume, or that there is something missing from the install docs.
Any thoughts? |

that actually only works in "the other direction". i want everything BEFORE the init. RC_BOOTLOG (+showconsole) will only log the init stuff.

I have been running a server with a pair of 250 GB IDE drives in a RAID1 mirror for over a year now. It will continue to run if a drive fails, and it will boot from either member off the mirrored pair. I am also running LVM on top of the RAID1 for the root and swap filesystems. The root filesystem is reiserfs; the boot partition is ext2. 
Did you set up your linuxrc script properly in your initrd, and specify that initrd in your grub.conf?

ihtruelsen,
please post your grub.conf and /etc/fstab file and the output of fdisk -l.

ihtruelsen,
grub ignores raid totally. It cannot boot from raid0 but raid1 works ok.
The other issue can be not mounting /boot before the copy.
Error 15 applies to your splashimage, kernel and initrd file names. MAybe you are looking at the wrong file ?

It has not been established whether grub boots at all, or just boots and gets a command prompt, or boots and shows the menu, then runs the selected kernel.
If the kernel runs, does it use initrd, as it must to setup /dev/md, and that initrd must do a pivot_root to then boot into the raid-resident root filesystem.
I suspect grub is doing its part fine, but maybe the linuxrc script in the initrd is botched.
