Message-Id: 53cc795f0706050605q56a3d5f7nff34b10f0d552f8c@mail.gmail.com
1 i'm trying to install gentoo on Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 01) Subsystem:
2 Hewlett-Packard Company AAR-2610SA. i've made RAID5 array with the 4
3 sata disks. And i have also 1 IDE disk with the old gentoo. My aim is
4 to get rid of this IDE disk and to install gentoo on whole RAID5
5 array.
6
7 so this is it.
8 Old IDE:
9
10 /dev/hda5 291M 79M 212M 28% /
11 /dev/hda6 6.6G 1.7G 4.9G 26% /usr
12 /dev/hda7 30G 195M 30G 1% /var
13 /dev/hda1 71M 38M 34M 53% /boot
14
15 and here is the sata array:
16
17 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
18 /dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
19 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
20 /dev/sda4 /store reiserfs auto 0 0
21
22 so, i've just copied all files from IDE to sda-raid array, compiled
23 new kernel with the genkernel-tool and installed it on sda.
24
25 kernel configuration: http://paste.org.ru/?wa5zzf
26 dmesg(of the same kernel on IDE): http://paste.org.ru/?9loypk
27
28 my grub.conf:
29
30 default 0
31 timeout 10
32 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
33
34 title=Gentoo Linux
35 root (hd0,0)
36 kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0
37 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 udev
38 initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
39
40 after installation and copying i've removed IDE disk and tried to boot
41 from sda array. grub was loaded succesfully but the kernel was stuck
42 with this error:
43
44 >> Activating mdev...
45 ...
46 mknod: /newroot/dev/console : read-only file system
47 mknod: /newroot/dev/tty1 : read-only file system
48 >> Booting (initramfs)..switch_root: Bad console '/dev/console'
49 Kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill init
50
51
52 what am i doing wrong?
