Dear List Installing Debian (Debian Alpha Port) on a rawhide with a diskaray connected to a QLogic HVD (ISP 1040)* leads to a kernel panic:
VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 If I connect a single SCSI Drive to a Symbios Card, removing all QLogic-Adapters, I can install Debian. With such an installation and having connected the diskarray afterwards, I can access the array and use the disks (unfortunately there is no space to mount a single drive in the box nowhere, so I must use the diskarray solely). With this, I just want to state the hardware is basically working with Debian... What I have tried so far, with same results: - use LordSuch's Netinst (from CD) - use the rescue- and rootdisk (from floppy) - preformat the disks in the array with ext3 and bsd disklabels (bsd disklabels are needed for debian-alpha to boot) - with unformatted and unpartitioned disks - different scsi cabling and changing PCI slots - using bootflag rootfstype - googling to get other hints... What else can I try? What does the number 01:00 in the error-message mean? If I change the cabling, sometimes I get 02:00 or even 08:00. Thank you for your help!
