From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: I install RH linux 7.2 on a server machine with Intel server raid controller srcu31l controlling two drives. It install Ok, but when boot it fail to mount root filesystem (error 19 mounting ext3) and gives a kernel panic (no init found). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.on boot 2. 3. Additional info:
Do you have ANY idea what driver is used for this card ?
no.
Did you use additional driver disks or did the installer on the cd support this card directly ?
I didn't use any additional drivers because the CD supplied by Intel only supports RedHat 6.2 and on their site there insn't any driver for 7.2. Red Hat recognized the card as i2o_block and loads the driver properly and finds all my partitions. The server as an SBT2 Intel motherboard and the board has an Adaptec SCSI controller. I already tried to enable this controller, and installed RedHat again for it to recognize both controllers (aic7xxx and i2o_block). Then i booted from the rescue option on the RedHat CD, and edited the /etc/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to point to /dev/sdax instead of /dev/i2o/hdax. Then I connected on of the disks to the Adaptec controller and booted RedHat and it booted fine. After that i upgraded the kernel to version 2.4.9-13 to see if it would boot from the RAID controller. After the upgrade I edited once again the /etc/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to the original devices and connected the hardisk to the RAID controller. After all this I continue to get the same error.

Every attempt I made to get docs on this specific controller failed. The i2o drivers support other devices reliably. I'm forced to conclude this is a problem with the firmware on the controller, sorry but there isnt any way I can see we can fix this.
