Re: [Soekris] Soekris] NET-4801 to NET-5501 reiserfs /dev/hda3 not working

Does the box boot from the Flash? Can you install Grub on the flash
to look at what drives are been seen?

 What is interesting is that the initial LiveCD build that is installed
 with the Stage3 tarball (I think its 2.6.19-gentoo-r5) will see the
 /dev/hda3 but does not load the natsemi ethernet interfaces. I did boot
 to this kernel and tried to rebuild the latest 2.6.28 kernel using
 genkernel in the 5501 environment (the build did complete) but still no
 /dev/hda3 while trying to reboot the latest kernel.

 Putting the hd back into the 4801 and it boots just fine to the latest
 Gentoo kernel.

 Ideas ?

 Thank you in advance, JohnF

Hi,

Alt: try mounting the partition as root fs from a kernel/initrd image
loaded over TFTP. On my net5501 using a 2.6.27 kernel it's /dev/sdaX,
and not /dev/hdaX, indeed.
