Nope. I am 100% sure it is not a case of typo. Same exact error on 2
different machines, one running CentOS5.2 and the other one RHEL5.2. Thanks.
Some time ago, I think on F8 or f9 I had much fun with an HP DC7700 not
finding its disks.
I did pretty much as you have done, and a little more besides. Probably,
google can find the discussion with some of the terms I've mentioned.
The problem you have is entirely consistent with the driver not finding
the disk controller. The initrd and nash trudge on regardless,
complaining at every step, until it tries to switch root filesystems.
Unfortunately, not all drives are as well written as they might be. Some
announce themselves and enumerate the hardware they've found. I like that.
Some complain if they haven't found any requisite hardware and decline
to stay loaded. I like that too.
Some don't say anything either way, they may stay loaded or unload
themselves, without saying anything I don't like those.
It sounds likely that yours falls into this last category.
At this point I'd adopt Tom's advice and if that works note that the
vendor's drivers are not to be used. Ever.
Do go over everything one last time, there _might_ be a typo.
