RE: [gentoo-user] Help with Promise RAID Gentoo
I would like to ask one thing tho.
You have part1 as /boot and part2 as root.
But i have hda1 as /boot and part1 as root.
Where do you install grub?
is it hda's mbr?
or disc0's mbr?
if it is disc0 then how to you choose that disc?
did you choose in your BIOS to boot that disc first?
Re-check your kernel config, and change ur grub.conf
to your root partion: /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 not part1
acording to your fstab
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1/boot ext2
noauto,noatime
1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part3/ ext3 noatime
1 1

OK. this is the most frustrating thing i've ever had with
Gentoo.
I can boot with the liveCD. I can load the produles, ataraid and
pdcraid. it does work. I install successfully. Then i install
Grub.
I follow the howto and do root=/dev/ataraid/d0p1
My /boot is a seperate partition in hda1.
But it just doesn't boot.
I gave up using grub for this, and used (groan) lilo. My
/etc/fstab
looks like this:
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1/boot ext2
noauto,noatime
1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part3/ ext3 noatime
1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part2noneswap sw
0 0
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part5/usr ext3noatime
1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part6/var ext3noatime
1 2
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part7/usr/local ext3
noatime
1
2
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part8/opt ext3noatime
1 2
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part9/home ext3noatime
1 2
And my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:
menu-scheme=Wb
prompt
timeout = 50
lba32
boot=/dev/ataraid/disc0/disc
disk = /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc
bios = 0x80
map = /boot/System.map
delay = 50
vga = normal# Normal VGA console
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev
Re: [gentoo-user] Help with Promise RAID Gentoo [SOLVED]
OK, AT LASSTT
Here's what you do to get it all working.
You install as usual. Loading the ataraid module and pdcraid module.
You compile your kernel with these options:
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---
* ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---
[*] PROMISE PDC202{46|62|65|67|68|69|70} support
[*] Special UDMA Feature
[*] Special FastTrak Feature
* Support for IDE Raid controllers (EXPERIMENTAL)
*Support Promise software RAID (Fasttrak(tm))
Remember to start /boot right from the begining by formating it again.
When install grub, don't do the setup (hd0) etc etc yet. Just emerge
grub and then skip to the section on the howoto about making the
floppy disk.
Now its not a good idea to use an existing one. Create a NEW one
using the commands in the howto.
Then you reboot with the floppy and do:
grub root (hd0,0) // Your boot partition
grub setup (hd0)
That should do it.
In grub.conf you should have:
title=Gentoo Linux RAID
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1
Thats all you need.
and IT WWOOORRKKKSSS FOR ME
I've seen grub fail on SCSI RAIDS so I just went with
lilo.

I hope this helps. If you find a way to make grub work,
please let me
know, as I would much prefer to be using grub.
Cheers,

Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the
bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell
them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country.
