Hello!
I have Linux box with Promise FastTrak TX2000 Ultra ATA/133 RAID PCI Card
and RAID1 configured. And I have no problems with booting Linux from
RAID1 array under kernel-2.4.18. My kernel config is:
-------------------- Begin ---------------------
[*] Generic PCI IDE chipset support
[*] Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support
[*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
[*] Use PCI DMA by default when available
[*] Intel PIIXn chipsets support
[*] PIIXn Tuning support
<*> Support for IDE Raid controllers
<*> Support Promise software RAID (Fasttrak(tm))
< > Highpoint 370 software RAID
-------------------- End ---------------------
And my /etc/lilo.conf:
-------------------- Begin ---------------------
# Start LILO global section
append="ide2=0xdc00,0xd882,10 ide3=0xd800,0xd482,10"
boot=/dev/ataraid/d0
lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS
disk = /dev/ataraid/d0
bios = 0x80
prompt
timeout = 50
vga = normal
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/ataraid/d0p1
label = linux
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
-------------------- End ---------------------
But when I try to do this config under 2.4.19/20/21 kernel, the boot process
fails with:
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 72:01
I tried to enable/disable the kernel options related to Promise
FastTrak, PDC202xx but result was the same: Kernel panic.
Am I misunderstand something?
Thanks for any help.
