[CentOS] Loading drivers during linux rescue

I installed the kmod-aacraid drivers, they see the card and drives, fine. However, I need to get a linux rescue to work, thus I need to load the drivers during the boot of the resuce disk.

[CentOS] Order of sata/sas raid cards
Hi. I bought a new Adaptec 6405 card including new (much larger) SAS drives (arrays). I need to copy content of the current SATA (old adaptec 2405) drives to the new SAS drives. When I put the new controller into the machine, the card is seen and I can see that the kernel loads the new drives and the old drives. The problem is that the new drives are loaded as SDA and SDB, which then stops the kernel loading, becasue it cannot find root and get kernel panic. Is there a way to tell the kernel in which order to load the drives and assign the drive order in a way that the new drives are assigned SDC and SDD and the old drives get SDA and SDB? thanks Jobst -- Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jo...@barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi Adrian yes this will do.

Re: [CentOS] Loading drivers during linux rescue
Sorry, maybe I did not give enough information. I have the drivers from adaptecs site (plus the kmod stuff). At least once I need to boot the rescue disk to select the bootpartition and install grub on the new drives, I need to insmod the drivers, but I do not know where and how to do that during the boot process of the rescue disk (there is no menu for that). I have never had to do this before ... in all the years of using Linux ;-) Jobst On Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 02:31:55AM -0700, John Doe (jd...@yahoo.com) wrote: From: Jobst Schmalenbach jo...@barrett.com.au I got a new Adaptec 6405 card with a set of new harddrives.

The solution: you dont access a drive via /dev/sdx You access per UUID and the kernel maps it to the appropiate sdXY which could be sdy after reboot. I am not sure about initial ramdisks etc. maybe there is hardcoded stuff to sdx in there. Maybe it has to be rebuilt?

Re: [CentOS] Loading drivers during linux rescue
Hi Jobst, I believe you'll need to build a new initrd image and include the driver modules. Try http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CreateNewInitrd for a start. There are other guides out there too.

[CentOS] System will not boot - faulty fstab?
I believe that I made a boo boo recently when recovering some unused disk space. Without going into painfully embarrassing detail I need to delete an entry in fstab for a now non-existent logical volume. The system reports that the there is a bad superblock for said logical volume. Mainly I expect because there isn't one anymore. How do I edit fstab so as to remove the mount request? For some reason the system will not boot from the cdrom and the I for interactive option is just blown by when the HDD boot starts. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Re: [CentOS] Order of sata/sas raid cards
I agree with the UUID stuff, I do not like them for the exact same reason. I do not understand why RedHat cannot include the partition into the UUID, e.g. dev-sda1-c05e-449a-837b-b2579b949d55 As for the first drive, when the kernel boots I think it assigns the drives in order of the controller on the system bus/slots. As the new controller sits lower in the slot system (i.e. closer to the CPUs) it is recognised first as I can see it appearing first in the order being initialized by the kernel. I cant move it below the old card as there is no slot that has the correct PCI-x8. I will try the LABEL way of doing I remember that was the same problem a few years back when one had multiple network interfaces until the MAC addresses where introduced into the ifcfg files.

Because I do not know (yet) the UUID of the new partitions (drives), if I specify the UUID for the known drives for the partitions the kernel will assign the new drives to higher sdx? Is this correct? After reboot sdx could be sdy, as you noticed. The solution: you dont access a drive via /dev/sdx You access per UUID and the kernel maps it to the appropiate sdXY which could be sdy after reboot. You can also label it. I loathe UUIDs - there is *no* way you're going to remember one when you need it. Labels are so much clearer. I am not sure about initial ramdisks etc. maybe there is hardcoded stuff to sdx in there. Maybe it has to be rebuilt? Maybe you has to rebuild initrd as well as updating fstab? I've actually never seen a system *not* know what the first drive was, hardware-wise. And grub will point to root hd(0,x), normally, not UUID or anything else. You *can* (and I do, all the time) use LABEL= on the kernel line. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- When the Pope visits a country he really likes, does he french kiss the ground? | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jo...@barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
