Now I'm sucessfully booting my system with the 2.4.23 kernel using only one of the drives (hde). There is not a single line in the logs that says anything about the Promise ATARAID driver is beeing fired up, so my guess is that it doesn't load if no one is calling on it. When I try to boot from the RAID it dies right after the "NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux" message. I think it's when the ATARAID driver is about to fire up. I have no idea at all what to do now. It must have something to do with the hard drives since this is the only thing that has changed. Maybee I'm missing some important kernel setting option or so? (I don't think so, but one never know for sure). Also what have changed in the Promise / ATARAID since 2.4.18?. /Nicke -----Original Message----- From: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of Walt H Sent: den 21 december 2003 17:32 To: Nicklas Bondesson Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: Error mounting root fs on 72:01 using Promise FastTrak TX2000 (PDC20271) Nicklas Bondesson wrote: > Nopes, I get the kernel panic before the driver loads or when it does, > however I'm not seeing any ataraid driver message at all.

I really appreciate your help on this. > > /Nicke > Well, since you're using raid1, you should be able to pass a root=/dev/hda1 (or whatever your / is located) using the same kernel and at least boot using this kernel. Then maybe you can use dmesg etc.. to see what the driver is actually doing. From your original post, it looks like you're using Lilo, so you'll need to boot using the old kernel first and change the lilo entry. -Walt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
