Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to remotely upgrade my server from |
| 4 |
gentoo-sources-2.4.25_pre7-r2 to gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r9, i.e. from |
| 5 |
devfs to udev. My root partition is on a RAID 1 mirror on an Adaptec |
| 6 |
2100S. My existing fstab is below. It was summarized to me by the |
| 7 |
NOC over the phone, so I don't have the exact text of the startup |
| 8 |
error, but it is something to the effect of... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 not found |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I'm guessing that udev is tweaking the naming scheme a bit, as warned |
| 13 |
under "No Consistent Naming between DevFS and udev" in the Gentoo udev |
| 14 |
Guide. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So two questions: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1) How can I tell what the new name is going to be? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
2) As I'm doing this upgrade remotely, how can I set up to fail back |
| 21 |
to my udev-less 2.4.25 kernel should 2.6.13 still fail to come up? In |
| 22 |
other words, if I change fstab to be udev specific won't that leave me |
| 23 |
dead in the water? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Thanks! |
| 26 |
