Hi there,
i have a Promise FastTrack TX2 IDE-RAID Controller with 4 hdd's using
mirror/stripe. All works fine if i boot from a floppy using nfs-root from my
nfs-server, i can mount the raid /dev/ataraid/d0, partitions work fine, but if i
want to install lilo (it runs w/o any failure) and reboot the server to boot
from the harddisks, it won't work. Always get: LI 01 01 01 01 and so on. Here
an output from fdisk:
Disk /dev/ataraid/d0: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 19452 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/ataraid/d0p1 1 17 136521 82 Linux swap
/dev/ataraid/d0p2 18 19 16065 83 Linux
/dev/ataraid/d0p3 20 274 2048287+ 83 Linux
/dev/ataraid/d0p4 275 19452 154047285 5 Extended
/dev/ataraid/d0p5 275 529 2048256 83 Linux
Yes, there are 152gig available :) i know.
Can any one tell me how to set up lilo correctly that it BOOTs my linux from
the raid ?!? ... Read so much docu's and nothing works ... Same failure
again and again ...
System: Debian SID (selfmade Kernel 2.4.17) and yes, the following is set:
[*] Boot off-board chipsets first support
[*] PROMISE PDC202{46|62|65|67|68}
[*] Support for IDE Raid controllers
[*] Support Promise software RAID (Fasttrak(tm))
[*] Highpoint 370 software RAID
and an append line with "ide=reverse" to get hde -> hda and so on.
Many thanks for your help and your time.
Kind regards,
Marc-Christian Petersen
