What version of udev are you running? Do you have the proper driver for your disks built into your kernel, or as a module? It sounds like your module is just not being loaded. it could be. i made a 'genkernel all' kernel build. i have never done that before in any other gentoo installation. i have done that exactly for proper loading of all the modules i even did not know Proliant needed. i did not controlled what and how is loaded. i think that the cciss module need to be loaded. however, the grub has problems with detecting the (hd0) as /dev/cciss/c0d0 anyway. it is the root problem. i found on other web page that at least on one occassion the lilo did not help either with detecting it on gentoo. grub device.map did not contained (hd0) entry at all. i had to add it manually. this was fixed at grub bugs page a year ago. do i need to recompile the kernel or initrd or add the cciss module to the /etc/autoload... file? hello. i have read more on the issue in the gentoo forums. i think that the problem with grub is separate from my own problem where cciss module most probably is not not loaded AFTER boot. however i would say at the moment that if this is to be pursued as a bug it is most likely to be configuration issue within grub and not a bug as such in gentoo. to be frank - this should be closed. if you have good information how to overcome grub installation (grub-install definitely not works) with Compaq Smart Array 5i (cciss) disks than perhaps this should be mention as a warning or something within the gentoo installation handbook. thank for your help! |
