Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to install gentoo on a small server in full sw-raid1 setup, |
| 4 |
using info in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-tipsntricks.xml |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have a similar setup with /boot / and swap on md. After creating md's |
| 7 |
I continued with installation using info in |
| 8 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/index.xml |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I recompilled kernel with md-support (no modules), installed boot-loader |
| 11 |
(lilo, on /dev/md0), created /etc/fstab, emerged mdadm, etc, etc... |
| 12 |
Everything was OK until 10.d: Rebooting the System |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
When booting into new system (this time from disks, not from |
| 15 |
installation cd), I got following messages: |
| 16 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 17 |
... <up to here everything normal, all md's correctly autodetected>... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* mounting sysfs at sys ... |
| 20 |
can't create lock file /etc/mtab1008: Read only file-system |
| 21 |
(use -n flag to override) [!!] |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
...<again everything normal up to>... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* checking root filesystem |
| 26 |
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining |
| 27 |
whether /dev/md1 is mounted |
| 28 |
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/md1 |
| 29 |
/dev/md1: |
| 30 |
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 |
| 31 |
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contain an ext2 |
| 32 |
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock |
| 33 |
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate |
| 34 |
superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
* Filesystem could not be fixed :-( [!!] |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Give root-password for maintenance |
| 39 |
(or type Control-D for normal startup): |
| 40 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Then I logged as root and tried that "e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/md1" with |
| 43 |
the same error. Rebooting did not change anything... |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
BTW, I repeated the whole installation 3 times, even with different |
| 46 |
pair of disks (I thought there is some hw-error), but no difference... |
| 47 |
What now? Could someone tell me where the problem is? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Thanks, |
| 50 |
