well i transfer the initrd on another computer and i can see the megaraid_sas module. another strange when i install with DVd it works like a charm :( but i would like to install my server with cobbler with all the task in my kickstart done. that s really very very strange during the boot process the disk are reckoknized as the system can say that the swap partition in on /dev/root/LogVol01 but it says that /dev/root/LogVol00 where is the root partition has no block device. i rerun the mkinird while booting in recue mode but i got the same result. the nash script seems ok i guess the problems is that the lvm is not correctly detected Le 24/08/2010 20:57, James Hogarth a écrit : > initrd for that kernel ok for all the required modules? > > On 24 Aug 2010 09:53, "Eric Doutreleau"<Eric.Doutreleau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> well >> yes the drive is bootable as i can boot from it >> it s when the kernel need to find the root device that it s the problem >> it s like it can't find the volume group >> >> >> Le 23/08/2010 15:44, m.roth@xxxxxxxxx a écrit : >>> Eric Doutreleau wrote: >>>> >>>> i m trying to install centos5 on my poweredge 2950 with no luck. >>>> the raid controler is LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev > 04) >>>> >>>> indeed all is going fine during the installation but when i reboot the >>>> server panic >>>> >>>> the first error i got is this one >>>> error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: block device required >>>> >>>> it seems that it can't find the /dev/root devices. >>>> >>>> but when i boot in rescue mode the / partition is found without any >>>> problem. i can chroot in it >>> >>> Does the PERC controller know that the drive you want to boot off of is >>> bootable?
