 Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:57 pm Post subject: LSI SAS 2008 Controller/ Could not find root block device |
 |
|
Good day all!
I have been troubleshooting this for about 2 weeks now. We have a server that has a Pike 2008 (LSI SAS 2008) raid controller in it. I have a couple raid devices setup and one Intel SSD passed through as the install device. Every time I have installed Gentoo I have gotten a message that says could not find root block device in UUID=..... I have gone as far as to edit the UUID and change it to /dev/sda3 in the grub.cfg file but that gave me the same result but of course said could not find root block device /dev/sda3. I suspect this is because I am not compiling the kernel with the proper modules. Any advice or direction at this point would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Matt

digital951,
Welcome to Gentoo
You don't say how you are configuring and building your kernel. The liveCD does not support | Code: | | PCI-Express Fusion-MPT |
nor does a default genkernel all.
| Code: |
│ │ < > Generic Target Core Mod (TCM) and ConfigFS Infrastructure (NEW) ----│ │
│ │ [ ] Fusion MPT device support (NEW) ---- │ │
│ │ IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support ---> |
your device driver is in the Fusion MPT device support (NEW) ---- menu.
Probably <*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SAS (NEW)
You need to set that option on, then rebuild and reinstall your kernel.

I have been using genkernel all.
I chroot('d) back into the install and ran
Fusion MPT device support was already selected. So I exited and ran the make commands, but I am still getting the same error. It seemed like the compile was suspiciously fast compared to genkernel. Do I need to start from scratch? I have never done a manual Kernel install.
Thanks,

digital951,
remeves the intermediate files left by the last build, sets up the .config file, then builds and installs the kernel.
Your build was fast as make didi not need to do very much.
I'm not sure what you mean by | Quote: | | ran the make commands |
Your kernel might be OK but you are just not using it.
Look at the timestamps on the kernel file(s) in /boot the look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make sure the most recent kernel is being loaded.
genkernel has a -menuconfig option, it might be --menuconfig.
This drops you into menuconfig so you can change the settings. The build and install continues when you exit menuconfig.
Post the output of lspci from your install media.
Maybe your root filesystem is not attached to the controller you think it is. We can make sure the drivers for all your HDD chipsets are installed.

The commands I was referring to were the following: (Attempting to use the handbook as my bible)
make && make modules_install
make install
Most of the files in /boot have different timestamps I didn't regenerate the grub.cfg file. Should I have done that?
The fusion MPT box is checked using genkernel --menuconfig all

digital951,
| Code: | | [*] Fusion MPT device support ---> |
is a menu option. That's required but not sufficient.
Inside that menu is | Code: | | <*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SAS (NEW) |
which looks like the option you need.
Set it as <*>.
genkernel will take care of
| Code: | 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller #1
00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller #2 |
without any help.
I don't use grub2 but as long as the kernel and ititrd entries point to your most recent kernel in /boot you should be OK.

I did notice this on my last compile.
| Code: |
* WARNING... WARNING... WARNING...
* Additional kernel cmdline arguments that *may* be required to boot properly...
* With support for several ext* filesystems available, it may be needed to
* add "rootfstype=ext3" or "rootfstype=ext4" to the list of boot parameters.
|
I am running XFS as my root fs. So it looks like I might need to compile with rootfstype=xfs ? |

digital951,
xfs may not be included in genkernel.
Adding rootfs=xfs won't hurt. It will stop the kernel searching for the right filesystem driver to mount root.
After all, the kernel cannot read /etc/fstab to find out what root is untir root is mounted.
In meunconfig press / to search and enter xfs.
The help will tell you where it is and its current setting.

Adding this is what defiantly fixed the problem. However I realized I wasn't actually saving the config. Once I save the config VIOLA every thing started working. THANK YOU GUYS!!! |
