Reply-To: Pierfrancesco Caci From: Pierfrancesco Caci Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2003 16:05:53 +0200 Message-ID: <87smsceyim.fsf@home.tippete.net> User-Agent: Gnus/5.090018 (Oort Gnus v0.18) Emacs/21.2 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, anyone has an idea why 2.5.68 can't boot (it sends a panic, can't mount root on md(9,0) message and dies) off a raid1+devfs setup that works perfectly on 2.4.x ? I have the suspect that something in the naming of devices has changed, but I can't find any reference by googling around. Here's my setup, as 2.4.21-pre7 sees it: root@penny:~ # mount /dev/md/0 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/penny/niglia on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/penny/viola on /var type ext3 (rw) /dev/penny/tippete on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/kim/felix on /usr/src type ext3 (rw) /dev/kim/isidoro on /home/ftp/pub type ext3 (rw,noatime) /dev/gattaia/pink on /scratch type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) root@penny:~ # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/part1[1] ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1[0] 248896 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/part2[1] ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2[0] 39896576 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: root@penny:~ # head /etc/lilo.conf #disk=/dev/hda # bios=0x80 #disk=/dev/hdd # bios=0x81 boot=/dev/md0 root=/dev/md0 raid-extra-boot=/dev/hda,/dev/hdd #compact #linear lba32 Any ideas where to start looking ?
