You need to find out if the module for the card is being loaded by the initrd; I don't know how to do that. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Adaptec 2100s & Debian stable
I remember a "waiting for root filesystem" when I was using a software RAID and my drivers didn't load. I had to edit /etc/mkinitramfs/modules and make sure my "md" driver was added to the initrd image. It is possible that you need some driver to load to access your RAID? If you wait, say, 5 minutes are you dumped into a 'busybox' console? If you are dumped to busybox you have a very good chance of troubleshooting the system. This is what happened to me when I had problems with my software RAID. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro initird savedefault that's grub menu.lst. The strange thing is that with the old stable Debian (sarge) everthing work s fine. Is there any way to boot Debian etch witch a 2.4 series kernel? thanks Fabrizio. 2007/8/3, Douglas Allan Tutty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Thu, Aug 02, 2007 at 06:54:51PM +0200, Fabrizio Pedersoli wrote: > > i have a big problem with an Adaptec 2100s scsi controller, which > manages 2 > > disks in RAID-0. the Debian installer found correctly that raid and the > > installation process terminates fine.

Adaptec 2100s & Debian stable
Hi all guys! i have a big problem with an Adaptec 2100s scsi controller, which manages 2 disks in RAID-0. the Debian installer found correctly that raid and the installation process terminates fine. But when i reboot, after linux loads i20 modules and founds hdd... it stops saying "waiting for root filesystem". any suggestions??? thanks (and sorry for my english :D).
