Re: Kernel panic on Dell with Debian

2006-10-18 Thread Luiz Felipe

Yes, I was on this way: initrd.

But when compiled the new kernel with --initrd parameter, it seems that 
the initrd isn't in the package.
Also, I ran the mkinitrd -o output, and the command doesn't create the 
output file and doesn't report me any mistakes.


So, any suggestions about how to create this initrd?

Very thanks for your help.

/dev/sda1, is correct.



did you build/install/use initrd? I guess you're missing your SCSI card
driver. It may be located on initrd.

do you have the whole error message?

  
I followed the instructions in the site I've mentioned above to 
recompile the kernel, but this problem drove me crazy. I copied the 
config file available on the site and one at /boot folder to 
/usr/src/KERNEL_VERSION/.config, changed nothing, compiled and the 
system still doesn't working.

Kernel panic on Dell with Debian

2006-10-18 Thread Luiz Felipe

Hi,

I've tried to install Debian Sarge in a Dell PowerEdge 1425. The CD 
doesn't recognize the SCSI adapter (AIC), but I've found one ISO which 
contains the driver needed 
(http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Debian+on+Dell+Servers).


After successfully installed, the system doesn't have support to 
iptables. So, recompiled the kernel and was expecting to work.


But the system boots no longer. It gave me a  kernel panic message, 
unable to mount root partition (/dev/sda1) or 08:00. This partition, 
/dev/sda1, is correct.


I followed the instructions in the site I've mentioned above to 
recompile the kernel, but this problem drove me crazy. I copied the 
config file available on the site and one at /boot folder to 
/usr/src/KERNEL_VERSION/.config, changed nothing, compiled and the 
system still doesn't working.


And yes, I've ran lilo.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Regards,
Luiz Felipe de Souza Gomes.
