When starting up, the bios can recognize the disk array with no problem, the server starts booting OK, but when it gets to load the megaraid module, it brakes: The server is not able to boot any more, here is the error: ---------------- Red Hat nash version 3.2.6 starting Loading scsi_mod module SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 Loading sd_mod module Loading megaraid module megaraid: v1.18 (release Date: Wed Dec 4 11:33:00 EST 2002) megaraid: no BIOS enabled. /lib/megaraid.o: init_module: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally! Mounting /proc filesystem Creating root device Mouting root filesystem mount: error 19 mounting ext2 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 244 freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel I can clearly see that the driver can't be loaded,there is a problem. My question is: What is the problem with the driver after upgrading the kernel? I think somehow when red hat is installed with the first kernel, there is some aditional configuration with this particular driver that is lost when upgrading. What do I need to reconfigure? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
