Re: scsi support compiled into kernel insufficient to mount / from a scsi disk

2007-05-30 Thread Rohit Grover
Hi All, Putting aside the initrd/compile in argument, it seems that something is either missing from Rhit's kernel or from his initrd. Its likely to be the low level scsi driver for his chipset. That must be. I must have not taken care to compile in the driver for the chipset into the kernel.

Re: scsi support compiled into kernel insufficient to mount / from a scsi disk

2007-05-30 Thread Rohit Grover
Hi, Also, "SCSI support being compiled into the kernel" only means that the kernel is sufficiently capable to load further SCSI-related modules. This typically also includes e.g. basic SCSI CDROM support. It would be nice to rid myself of the need to have to generate an initrd for every new ve

scsi support compiled into kernel insufficient to mount / from a scsi disk

2007-05-29 Thread Rohit Grover
Hi, Could someone please elucidate on why the linux (2.6.21-3) won't be able to mount the root filesytem from a scsi disk at boot time even when scsi support has been compiled into the kernel? Using an initrd packaged with scsi modules works fine in this case. thanks, Rohit.

Hi, The problem has been resolved now. Had mostly to do with me rather than GRUB. My first bad: when configuring menu.lst to redirect grub to the serial console, I had used the settings: serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal serial This last setting meant that grub

You're using /dev/sda - scsi ( well probably sata ) drivers, which are rarely built into the kernel. The initramfs is unzipped ( iirc it's a cpio archive ), and some of the contents will provide the module required to get it to recognise the disk properly, rather than the explicit method used to

Just another infobit. Menu.lst had been configured to have GRUB timeout in 3 seconds. Usually, I get messages from GRUB prompting me to hit the Esc key to display the kernel menu at boot. Since this problem has appeared, I don't get that prompt anymore, so I suspect something's amiss even before t
