Hello,
I am using Intel SE7500CW2 motherboard with on-board Promise PDC20267
FastTrak 100 IDE Raid controller and trying to get 2.4.21-pre6 kernel up
and running with it. System is RedHat 7.3. When I boot my new kernel, I
get following errors after
Mounting root filesystem in read-write mode [OK]
and some more [OK]- s:
Finding module dependencies: execvp: Input/output error
EXT3-fs error (device ataraid(114,2)): read_inode_bitmap: Cannot
read
inode bitmap - block_group=<number>
Following many more errors like that with different block_group numbers
(Sorry, theese are only notes on paper)
I also tried RedHat kernel 2.4.20-8 and got the same errors. Kernel
configuration file is kernel-2.4.20-i686-smp.config from RedHat 2.4.20-8
source tree, only made modifications noted in Murty Rompalli-s Linux ATA
RAID HOWTO. With older kernels I got lost IRQ errors, but according to
/proc/pci PDC20267 is not sharing its IRQ with any other device. I found
postings saying that there is a bug in kernels prior 2.4.21 causing this
bahavior, so I decided to try 2.4.21
my /etc/lilo.conf:
prompt
timeout=500
default=2.4.18-3smp
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3smp
label=2.4.18-3smp
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda2
append="hda=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-pre6
label=2.4.21-pre6
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-pre6.img
read-only
root=/dev/ataraid/d0p2
append="hda=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8custom
label=2.4.20-8custom
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8custom.img
read-only
root=/dev/ataraid/d0p2
append="hda=ide-scsi"
Do I have to use append line? ATA RAID HOWTO talks about append line only
when adding new non-os disks?
Any ideas?
