Post your exact model number as well. I have a lot of the older machines and I can probably dig up a kernel config for some of the older machines.

I'll through my 2 cents in. Just finished up installing gentoo on a DL380 G4 with smart array 6i raid controller (cciss). Had several issues with grub, so I switched over to udev, then grub and fstab stopped being stupid.
I used device map = (hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0
grub-0.94-r1 would not work - grub-0.96 did work - ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" CFLAGS="" emerge grub
ran grub --device.map=/boot/grub/device.map
got;
grub> root (hd0,
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 23 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+23 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.
fstab;
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot ext2 noatime 0 1
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 2
Hope this helps.

|
|
I hope this post finds you doing well. I have followed MANY points of wisdom in this thread and found them MUCHO helpful. My machine is now up and running and I only have one more item to get installed but I'm having challenges .... again. The item of which I speak is an Emulex LP9002L HBA. Now, I've done the SourceForge source code install and all seems kind of well EXCEPT for the MOUNTAIN of startup messages I get a boot time. As a result of these messages I decided to cat /proc/scsi/scsi to see what scsi devices were know on my machine. When I do this command I get:
oragrid1 lpfcdriver-full-2.6-8.0.27 # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
oragrid1 lpfcdriver-full-2.6-8.0.27 #
Now, I find this response odd because I KNOW I have successfully installed the Compaq SMART2 SCSI array controller to run the RAID0+1 on my local machine drives. If this wasn't the case my machine wouldn't even boot ... right??? Incidentally, when I run lsscsi I see:
oragrid1 lpfcdriver-full-2.6-8.0.27 # lsscsi
oragrid1 lpfcdriver-full-2.6-8.0.27 #
Again, shouldn't I ATLEAST see my SMART2 controller listed? I'm confused. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. |

|
|
I am trying to install with the 2004.3 cd to a proliant 5500 with a smart array 431 and a smart array 3200
controller. The box has two xeons in it, and seems to spontaneously reboot during the install process. This also
happens when trying to install OpenBSD.
Has anyone else had this problem? The drives are all autodetected, and I can usually make a filesystem
on them without one of these reboots occuring, but can't do much else.
Is this an SMP issue perhaps? It seems like others have had good luck with these cards, so Im guessing its
not an issue with hardware/drivers.
Any ideas would be appreciated! |

Double check that the bios is set to OS type Linux.. You have to do this from the SmartStart utility

Just my 2 cents too ^^
For the Compaq Proliant 1600 (using SMART Array 3200 controller AND SCSI Symbios Logic 875x)
-> sym53c8xx drivers
Here's how the partition are recognized:
LiveCD (kernel 2.6): /dev/ida/c0d0pX
OM (kernel 2.4): /dev/ida/disc0/partX |

|

Running Grub on Compaq DL360 G3
I have been reading the multiple posts reguarding Compaq SCSI and Gentoo. I was able to get grub to install on my drives but can't get it to boot without a panic.
I'm using LiveCD 2005.0 and kernel 2.6.9.
My boot error:
| Code: |
ACPI wakeup devices:
ACPI: (support S0 S4 S5)
VFS: Cannot open root device "ram0" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
|
| Code: | livecd gentoo # lspci
0000:00:04.0 RAID bus controller: Compaq Computer Corporation Smart Array 5i/532 (rev 01)
|
here is my fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 none swap sw 0 0
|
I have played around with editing /boot/grub/device.map like this:
| Code: |
livecd etc # cat ../boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0
|
My current grub.conf:
| Code: |
livecd grub # more grub.conf
# Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 0
# How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 30
# Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up :)
# Comment out if you don't have a graphics card installed
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r9
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 doscsi pci=noacpi
|
I have been playing with the above line, but I'm guessing this is the root of my problem.
Mount before chroot, this should take care of dev questions:
| Code: |
livecd gentoo # mount
tmpfs on / type tmpfs (rw)
/newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/loop/0 on /mnt/livecd type squashfs (ro)
none on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev type ramfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/firmware type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 on /mnt/gentoo type ext2 (rw)
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 on /mnt/gentoo/boot type ext2 (rw)
none on /mnt/gentoo/proc type proc (rw)
/dev on /mnt/gentoo/dev type none (rw,bind)
|
From a chroot'ed enviroment:
| Code: | livecd / # ls /dev/cciss/
c0d0 c0d0p1 c0d0p2 c0d0p3

| I really hate to bring up an old topic over such a problem as mine, but how do I access the system bios on a ProLiant DL380? I can access the raid bios without any problems, but I havent been able to figure out how to get into the system bios. Any help would be appreciated. |

For the record, this is what worked for me:
HP Proliant DL360 G4
Smart Array 6i
My fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 / reiserfsfs noatime 0 0
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 none swap sw 0 0
|
The driver is the cciss module, compiled into the kernel.
To get grub installed, I first tried adding the cciss device to device.map, but it didn't seem to work, so I ran grub and from the command line I did:
device (hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
And it works!!
Boots really fast too, very impressed I was! |

Im not sure, but i don't think there really is a bios in those machines that you can access.
You might be able to change some settings in the romPaq with the floppy's available from the hp/compaq website.
I used a special cd from compaq to setup the proper Operating system etc, but could change much more than that.
Beware though that you need the right disks, most bios versions and disks are incompatible. |

|
|
I have just installed Gentoo on a PL380 (Dual Xeon 3GHz, 3GB RAM, 4 x 72Gb 15K U3, RAID 5)
I set up the RAID from the F8 prompt first, then booted the Gentoo 2005.0 CD. Installation was quick and flawless, used the 2.6.12-gentoo-r5 kernel, compiled in cciss for the i5 RAID controller, tigon3 for ethernet, SvrWks CSB5 for the CDROM, and hotplug PCI. Nothing fancy in the kernel config, most stuff disabled, no modules at all.
GRUB worked fine, I run it on the command line with the device (hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0
Rebooted straight into the login at first try. Seems to perform pretty good. |

Hmmm, didn't have much problems getting 2005.1 going on that box (straight stage1 - works a treat).
We use it for compiling metrics on our build environments and code etc... Considering how big maps for the PS3 are going to be, this is important stuff.
The box performance is impeccable. However, the fans are howling far louder than on all the other boxes and the admin now asks me whether it won't be better to install *shudder* RedHat instead. No no no no no.
Anyone knows what software controls the fans + how to set it up?
Linux lilxmetrics.psygnosis.co.uk 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 #1 SMP Wed Aug 3 15:32:03 GMT 2005 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Hmpf. Obviously this is for 2.6 kernels  You wouldn't have a link to the 2.6.xxx agents? Couldn't find them

The last versión of agents is 7.30 [jun'05] but i don't know if run on 2.6.xx kernel [there is also a 64bits version too]
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/23152.html
This is the last .rpm from redhat [you can modify ebuild to test, the ebuild of hpasm is a rpm installer I think]
I din't test, sorry
I have only one dl380 running now in 2.4.xx |

| DL380 with smartarray 5i wouldn't work for me when trying to install gentoo 2005.1 (universal). Right after I got the root prompt on the LiveCD, it *always* crashed (kernel panic). I went through every possible boot option without success. Then I rolled back to 2004.3 and did an upgrade to 2005.1, and all went fine, no idea why exactly. So, if anybody has a similar issue, try using an older version of gentoo and then upgrading. |

I noticed a few posts about the crazy device names on the cciss controller.
If you have multiple logical volumes or even have more than one cciss controller on the system(for extrnal array) it can be mind-boggling to keep track of the partitions.
EVMS can help simplify this quite a bit.
/dev/evms/boot
/dev/evms/root
/dev/evms/var
/dev/evms/tmp
/dev/evms/log
/dev/evms/swap1
/dev/evms/swap2
/dev/evms/opt
Much easier to keep track of if you're so inclined |

I've just installed Gentoo on a DL 380 with one PIII 1.4ghz and a Smart Array 5i (3 scsi hdd in a raid 5). The computer freezes after those lines in the boot process :
| Code: | cciss: using DAC cycles
blocks= 142245120 block_size= 512
heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= 17432
input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1
|
Someone has any ideas ? |

Check how you've got ACPI configured in the kernel. I, personally, can't get 2.6.13 and higher to boot if I have ACPI Processor enabled in the kernel. Under ACPI Support, I just do the following.

And it seems to work for me. I'm not sure if that's your problem, but it might be.

I tried what you said, but the problem remains. I also tried compiling with CISS and SMART2.
Do I have a way to grab some information about what's happening just before the computer freezes ?
EDIT : I'm now able to boot properly, because I did genkernel with a 2.6.12 kernel. Any clue to why the normal install failed would be very helpful. |

Some input from my experience; I am using gentoo 2005.1 and I have the compaq DL360 w/ the Ultra3 SCSI array thingy.
I booted up w/ "doscsi" as a boot flag.
I had to do a "modprobe cciss"
I did "fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d0" and blew away the existing partitions and then used c0d0p1, c0d0p2, and c0d0p3 as the standard 3 partitions.
I did a manual kernel build, the smart array options are right there and already selected in my case.
Grub was tricky; I had to edit the /boot/grub/device.map file:
| Code: |
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0
|
and then my grub.conf looks like:
| Code: |
# Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 0
# How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 30
# Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up :)
# Comment out if you don't have a graphics card installed
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r10
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/gentoo-kernel doscsi root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3
|
Hope that helps someone out there!
