I try and boot from the LiveCD and I can not find any of my SCSI disks. After about 20 times of testing different parameters to pass (doscsi, nousb, etc..) I get the following error: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveRead SeekComplete Error} hdc: command error: error=0x54 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 1403244 /bin/sh: line 4: /sbin/init: Input/output error /bin/sh: line 4: /sbin/init: Success Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Although I am getting that error now and cant even get to the usual prompt, the error that remained before was the failure of the LiveCD to detect my SCSI card. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot off the universal LiveCD from 4/26/04 2. gentoo doscsi Actual Results: my SCSI card and drive are not detected it prints the information: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 Expected Results: detecting the SCSI card thus enabling me to have access to my hard drives and install Gentoo
I solved it by doing modprobe mptbase modprobe mptscsih
