Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 30086
RAID modules do not autodetect raid arrays.
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:31:51 EDT
I've seen three different people mentioning the problem, but could not find a bug report, so I thought I'd make one... My problem: Did a "fisher" install. / is a RAID1 partition (lots of RAID partitions actually... ) With the fisher kernel, boots fine. Updated kernel to wolverine kernel. Boot fails, "isofs_read_super: bread failed" and "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 06:01". I'm not at the computer right now, so I'm not sure of the numbers in the unable to mount message. The old kernel spews out lots and lots of debugging messages when the raid modules load and autodetect the raid arrays. The new kernel spits out nothing and does not appear to find my raid arrays. Bug 29731 references this problem, as do a couple of posts in the wolverine mailing list. System is a KT133A-based AMD T-Bird. (Asus KT133K7V or somesuch). 3 hard drives, two on the promise controller, one of the via controller. / is split over the via (hda) and the promise (hde).
