Hello again, I am having difficulty accessing my linux system now that I have moved my dasd packs. Here are the facts:
1) I updated my parmfile to replace the old ucb's with the new ucb's old = dasd=31A0,31A1 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd new = dasd=216A,216B,216C root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd 2) I ran silo: lnx390t:cd /boot lnx390t:/boot # silo -d /dev/dasdb -f image -p parmfile -b ipleckd.boot o->ipldevice set to /dev/dasdb o->image set to image o->parmfile set to parmfile o->bootsect set to ipleckd.boot Testlevel is set to 0 IPL device is: '/dev/dasdb' bootsector is: 'ipleckd.boot'...ok... bootmap is set to: './boot.map'...ok... Kernel image is: 'image'...ok... original parameterfile is: 'parmfile'...ok...tempfile is ./parm.q9EPib final parameterfile is: './parm.q9EPib'...ok... ix 0: offset: 082b7a count: 0c address: 0x00000000 ix 1: offset: 082b87 count: 80 address: 0x0000c000 ix 2: offset: 082c07 count: 80 address: 0x0008c000 ix 3: offset: 082c87 count: 72 address: 0x0010c000 ix 4: offset: 082e03 count: 01 address: 0x00008000 Bootmap is in block no: 0x00082e04 3) I backed up my dasd w/ OFFLINDR 4) My system was brought down (not cleanly if that matters) 5) I activated my new IOCP to include new dasd devices 6) Restored data to vols : 31a0 to 216a etc... 7) IPL'd from 216B and received the following : amongst other messages... Command line is dasd=33a0,33a1 root=/dev/dasdb1 initrd ro (<---this is a bad sign) .... detected device 216a detected device 216b detected device 216c (so my gen is looking good) ... dasd: devn 0x33A1 on subchannel 9342= /dev/dasdb (94:5) cannot open unrecognized device. VFS: cannot open root 5e:05 My guess is I "botched" SILO . Is there a way to get this system up on the new dasd without a complete reinstall ? TIA, SG
