Hi maks, I installed this system with a sarge cd (2.6.8-386-2 kernel) and that has cpqarray compiled as a module and works fine. As far as I can tell, the problem only occurs with very recent 2.6 kernels >= 2.6.15.
I still have not tested the modified kernel package I made with CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA=y. I will report on this as soon as I have an answer. /proc/cmdline: root=/dev/ida/c0d0p1 ro (I have tried booting with all combinations of noprobe, noapic and noacpi too) lsmod (no lsmod in the initramfs, so this is from the system running 2.6.8): Module Size Used by ipv6 229892 8 af_packet 20872 2 ide_scsi 15492 0 scsi_mod 115148 1 ide_scsi serverworks 12308 1 e100 30080 0 mii 4864 1 e100 dm_mod 51068 0 capability 4872 0 commoncap 7168 1 capability psmouse 17800 0 ide_generic 1664 0 ide_disk 16768 0 ide_cd 38176 0 ide_core 125028 5 ide_scsi,serverworks,ide_generic,ide_disk,ide_cd cdrom 35740 1 ide_cd rtc 12088 0 ext3 109544 5 jbd 54552 1 ext3 cpqarray 22756 7 unix 26036 14 font 8576 0 vesafb 6688 0 cfbcopyarea 3840 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 3200 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 3712 1 vesafb ls -l /dev/ida: total 0 brw-rw---- 1 0 0 72, 0 Jul 28 18:03 c0d0 /etc/fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/ida/c0d0p1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/ida/c0d0p9 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p8 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/ida/c0d0p7 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 dpkg -l grub: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii grub 0.97-12 GRand Unified Bootloader dpkg -l udev: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii udev 0.093-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemon dpkg -l initramfs-tools: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii initramfs-tools 0.69b tools for generating an initramfs Thank you for the quick response, Joshua Rubin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
