 |
|
I am having huge troubles getting my box to boot.
All I was trying to do was replace the array hard drives (from dual 80GB WD to dual 320GB Seagates) and now i get this when I try to boot. (all i see on screen, typed out by hand)
| Code: | raid0: compairing sdb3(311925760) with sdb3(311925760)
raid0: End
raid0: ==> UNIQUE
raid0: 1 zones
raid0: looking at sda3
raid0: comparing sda3(311925760) with sda3(311925760)
raid0: EQUAL
raid0: FINAL 1 zones
raid0: done.
raid0: md_size is 623851520 blocks.
raid0: conf->hash_spacing is 623851520 blocks.
raid0: nb_zone is 1.
raid0: Allocating 4 bytes for hash.
md: concodering sdb1 ...

md: created md0
md: bind<sda1>
md: bind<sdb1>
md: running: <sdb1><sda1>
raid1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors
md: ,,, autorun DONE.
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(9,1) |
I have tried it with both a stage4 tarball from just before the upgrade and a fresh install using https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-456258.html almost exactly.
I am doing this on an IBM eServer 206m.
Please ask for any furthur info.
Any ideas?
Also the disks are partitioned as follows
/dev/sd[a,b]1 100MB raid1 md0 /boot
/dev/sd[a,b]2 512MB no raid swap
/dev/sd[a,b]1 the rest raid0 md1 /

randoguy,
This message | Code: | | Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(9,1) |
means the kernel has tried to read from /dev/md1 but does not understand the filesystem there. It looks like your root filesystem driver is missing from your kernel. It must not be a module.
Your post lists two /dev/md0s, but I assume that your root is on /dev/md1 ?

Gee. I am an idiot.
Too busy trying to figure out what was wrong with it in terms of RAID. Not enough attention payed to the fs.
Thanks. |
