Bug 163610

Description of problem:
I have a hp server with two fiber channel adapters type qla2300.
The OS is RHEL 3.0 update 3.

I have installed from cd with "linux text noprobe" and loaded the cciss driver for the hp scsi raid.

Then, after the installation, i have build the qla2300 drivers from the qlogic wbsite (7.01.01 i think).
With the modules.conf option ConfigRequired=0, the luns were all successfully added.
Now i had four luns for each physical drive on the svc.

Now i installed the sdd driver from IBM and started the sdd daemon with (sdd start) -> the 8 paths were put to 2 logical vpaths (vpatha and vpathb).

I created the lvm over the vpatha (group vg_root) und copied the root filesystem to the lvm-drive on the fiber channel drives (vpatha).

/boot -> cciss partition
swap -> cciss partition
/ -> vpatha (lvm - vg_root/root)

I created a fstab.fc file with the following content:

/dev/vg_root/root       /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1       /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3       swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

The modules.conf was modified to:

alias scsi_hostadapter1 cciss
alias scsi_hostadapter2 qla2300
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
options ConfigRequired=0

With the mkinitrd command, i created a custom initrd file which i modified:

linuxrc:

#!/bin/nash

echo "Loading scsi_mod.o module"
insmod /lib/scsi_mod.o 
echo "Loading sd_mod.o module"

NOW, my question:

I get an error while booting, but i can't get any info because of many,many ascii-text which is floating the screen.
What have i done wrong?
I think it's something at the lines:
------
echo 0x0100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev
echo Mounting root filesystem
mount -o rw -t ext3 /dev/vg_root/root /sysroot
tar cps /dev/IBMsdd /dev/vpath* | (cd /sysroot && tar xps)
pivot_root /sysroot /sysroot/initrd
------

Has somebody a hint for me?
