Error log
After this error I tried the following:
<code>
# mount /dev/ida/c0d0p3 /mnt/gentoo
# mount none -t proc /mnt/gentoo/proc/
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
livecd portage # env-update
!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): /root/catalyst/overlays/portage
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
# . /etc/profile
# grub
grub> root (
</code>
when pressing tab grub returns me an new line instead of listing possible devices:
<code>
grub> root (
</code>
looks like grub cannot handle the device
Unfortunately, none of the devs has this hardware readily available to do any testing. Which Compaq array controller, exactly? I might be able to get access to one for testing. I have made another test with same installer selections exept that I chosed lilo for booting. The error was the same. I think every controller that uses devicenames like /dev/ida/c0d0 would produce the error. This is the controller: 0000:01:00.0 Unknown mass storage controller: Compaq Computer Corporation Smart-2/P RAID Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Smart-2SL Array Controller Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 I/O ports at 7000 [size=256] Memory at 44000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Memory at 48000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] (In reply to comment #5) > Which Compaq array controller, exactly? > > I might be able to get access to one for testing. > I have an older Proliant 1600R laying around here - just try to remember me to test 2007.0 pre-release stuff on that box. Hrm, solution for this bug (at least for grub, haven't tested lilo on my box) is quite easy: If grub is to be installed on /dev/ida/* devices there needs to be a /boot/grub/device.map like this: (hd0) /dev/ida/c0d0 (In reply to comment #8) > Hrm, solution for this bug (at least for grub, haven't tested lilo on my box) > is quite easy: > > If grub is to be installed on /dev/ida/* devices there needs to be a > /boot/grub/device.map like this: > > (hd0) /dev/ida/c0d0 Currently, the installer depends on grub to generate a proper device.map. If grub doesn't see it, the installer doesn't either. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 148071 *** |
