[Bug 47526] Re: Boot fails after 6.06 server install on Compaq Proliant DL360: cpqarray missing in initramfs
Not sure we can fix this reliably. The problem isn't that cpqarray isn't in the initramfs, it's the fact that it overlaps with sym53c8xx driver on two PCI IDs. Adding cpqarray explicitly to /etc/*/modules forces the cpqarray module to be loaded first, and this alleviates the problem where sym53c8xx is loaded first. Yes, we could ditch the PCI IDs in one or the other module. However, this could lead to unforseen regressions. Since there is a work around for this problem, I think it's best to leave it as a release note. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu Kernel Team (ubuntu-kernel-team) = (unassigned) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix Target: ubuntu-6.06.2 = None -- Boot fails after 6.06 server install on Compaq Proliant DL360: cpqarray missing in initramfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It was my impression that the PCI IDs should be unique - handed out by a single third party for just this sort of issue? Is this PCI ID overlap due to a bug in the hardware introduced by one of the manufacturers, or an error in the PCI ID list that the kernel uses? If it is a hardware issue, I'd go back to the PCI ID organizations list and load the driver for the card that they say goes with that PCI ID and then issue a bug report or patch to the other drivers development team for inclusion.

Adding cpqarray to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules was proposed by Fabian and confirmed by Dave. Although this does not seem to make it work on all systems, it seems to be a great improvement and an easy fix.

If you are doing this from the intial boot, you will need to rebuild the kernel initrd file with this command # /sbin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-kernelversion kernelversion Hope this helps.

Seems to be related certain array controllers and not the platform. It happens on Proliant G1, G2 and G3 servers. It happens with Integrated controllers as well as add on Array cards. Tested with the Alternated CD using server install.

Possible work-around found with Google: ( transcript from: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-80342.html ) 1. Use your install CD to boot into rescue mode (insert CD and type rescue at the Boot: prompt). -When I did this the CD wouldn't go into rescue mode and gave me an error. I then chose the run a shell option from the install menu. 2. mkdir /target; mount /dev/ida/c0d0p1 /target (or whatever is your root partition. NB I did not have to provide any options. I did not have my partition map handy so I just mounted every partition on an empty dir and viewed the contents to figure out what was in each partition.) 3. If you created separate boot and usr partitions, mount the partitions on /target/boot and /target/usr (you are recreating the required tree under /target). You don't need any other partitions. 4. add cpqarray to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules (nano /etc/modules and add cpqarray as the last line). 5. chroot /target (now it looks like you are in your installation). 6. /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-686/ (this will build the new initrd.img in /boot). 7. Cd to /boot and verify that you are happy (I just ensured the new img was larger than the old one). Then backup the old img and rename the new img to the same name as the old img (initrd.img-2.6.12-9-686 for me). 8. Reboot. Everything went smoothly after that. -- Boot fails after 6.06 server install on Compaq Proliant DL360 https://launchpad.net/bugs/47526 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
