I've got a Super Micro P4SCT+ that uses the Marvell SATA controller that Linux doesn't know out-of-the-box. There |
| 3 |
was the mv_sata module provided by ABit that I found, and it compiles and loads into my 2.6.12 kernel. I can see the |
| 4 |
drives and have made a raid out of them no problem. I'm currently booting off the Intel SATA in the machine from |
| 5 |
/dev/sda The other drives are /dev/sdb,c,d. OK, so what I want to do is this: Remove the current /dev/sda and bump |
| 6 |
the /dev/sdb,c,d each up by one and then boot of them. /dev/sdb1,c1,d1 are set as RAID0+hotspare and configured/grub-ed |
| 7 |
etc. What I can't do is get the initrd to work. I've added the module and can see when it boots that it finds those |
| 8 |
devices but then it looks like it cannot see my devices. I get a Kernel Panic not init found, then it says to try |
| 9 |
passing init= to the kernel. I don't understand that, what must I do? I'm using udev so perhaps when the kernel is |
| 10 |
booting it cannot see my devices in /dev ? Other google searches show that might be the case. One set of google |
| 11 |
results pointing to gentoo-user about udev and initrd said "don't use initrd, build the module into the kernel". I |
| 12 |
can't do that with a 3rd party module can I? |

Here's the story about my install so far (incomplete) |
