Bug 161380 – gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r3 can't find filesystem on a md root

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Balint Dobai-Pataky 2007-01-10 19:35:33 UTC]

i have a stripe of 2 sata partitions, and i'd like to have that as root.
my boot is a single sata partition.
this worked before sata has been moved in the kernel, before 2.6.19.
now in the boot process i see my sata disks found, the md device built, and the kernel panics with something about not finding a valid ext3 on a device designated by numbers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
boot a 2.6.19 with a root=/dev/md0

Actual Results:  
kernel panic

Expected Results:  
boot

i've experienced this on amd64 and x86

Reopen with kernel .config and grub.conf attached.

.config

and that same kernel boots from a single sata partition.
and when booted it handle's md devices. md is not built as module.

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set

Don't use make oldconfig between different kernel versions...

[Comment 6 Balint Dobai-Pataky 2007-01-10 20:16:52 UTC]

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA = Support for SATA (deprecated; conflicts with libata SATA driver) 

and anyways i don't have that option set but my kernel boots from a SATA disk.
how can that be?

where is libata? it's not in scsi.
where is the new interface?
it's not clear to me yet.
