Hello,
I have two computers using RAID 1, with only one problem.
I am using hda and hdc, ReiserFS, Kernel 2.6.14.
I installed LILO on both hard disks, so I can disconnect primary master
and then BIOS tries to boot using hdc and it works fine.
When I was installing it I made some tests, and one time (with working
configuration) I just restarted and LILO wrote 09 09 09 09 09 (lot of
times, something like half screen). Then I restarted again and it worked
fine, and I had no more time to check it.
Today, after power failure and shutdown (UPC) system was not starting,
with this same problem.
In Manual.txt of Lilo I can read:
0x09 "DMA attempt across 64k boundary". This shouldn't happen, but may
inicate a disk geometry mis-match. Try omitting the COMPACT option. You
may need to specify the disk geometry yourself.
I never had this problem, and usually I works on Lilo. So I think
that maybe I have something in Lilo + RAID that is not fine. I don't
have "compact" option in LILO, and Lilo has not said to me any warning when
I installed it.
Any idea?
Thank you very much,
