You should check the output of lspci and lspci -n for
your sata controller. lspci | grep -i sata returns for
my PC:
:01:07.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology
Inc) SiI 3512 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
lspci -n | grep :01:07.0 says
:01:07.0 0104: 1095:3512 (rev 01)
~
Next step is to search for 1095 and 3512 in
/lib/modules/2.6.9/modules.pcimap:
% grep 1095 /lib/modules/2.6.9/modules.pcimap | grep 3512
sata_sil 0x1095 0x3512 0x 0x 0x
0x 0x0
In this example sata_sil is the module name to add
to /etc/mkinitrd/modules. Since modules.pcimap is
generated using information compiled into the kernel
modules, only the modules you have built are listed.

Re: pivot_root: No such file or directory
Thank-you so much, I got it working now! I would have never figured
this out myself.

In The Night wrote: Found it... /etc/mkinitrd needed: libata sata_via sd_mod ext3 The boot procedure on initrd used modprobe, so the module dependencies should be handled automagically. Ext3 should have been detected by mkinitrd. You could mount your initrd using mount -o loop /boot/initrd.img-2.6.7 /loop and check /loop/loadmodules, /loop/linuxrc.conf And if you add BUSYBOX=yes and DELAY=5 to mkinitrd.conf, then you will be asked to enter a very restricted shell at boot time.

Re: pivot_root: No such file or directory
1) Is pivot_root the ext3-not-compiled-in problem? 2) Can you boot manually from Grub, changing the root= commandline option? (I have a meeting and have to go home, so I won't be responding till tomorrow if you write back... just trynig to give you some ideas) -s On Mon, 2004-09-20 at 17:37, In The Night wrote: Now I've got the SCSI subsystem up and running...
