When I boot using FC5 installed on a SCSI drive /dev/sda I get a bunch of seek errors on my Sil 680 raid controller dmraid drives. (the drives I don't want partition scanned are /dev/hde, hdf, hdg. Here is a trimmed down log (using a serial console) of the errors in the initrd to aid in troubleshooting: ******************************* Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 359k Red Hat nash version 5.0.32 starting Mounting phde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { roc filesystem DriveReady Mounting sysfs fSeekComplete ilesystem CreatError ing /dev } hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=12370050, sector=12370050 ide: failed opcode was: unknown hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=12370050, sector=12370050 ide: failed opcode was: unknown logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech mouse model 11 hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=12370050, sector=12370050 ide: failed opcode was: unknown hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=12370050, sector=12370050 ide: failed opcode was: unknown hde: DMA disabled hdf: DMA disabled input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse as /class/input/input1 ***************************** <snip... here comes line 1723> ***************************** ide2: reset: success hde: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hde: task_in_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=12369830, sector=12369830 ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hde, sector 12369830 Buffer I/O error on device hde3, logical block 5927875 Creating initial device nodes Setting up hotplug.
