I installed 0.7.1 on a new box I built (Tyan K8WE motherboard with dual 2.8GHz Opterons, 2GB of RAM, and a pair of 7800GTX's). Other than a minor problem with Grub, (had to install it by hand) everything went fine. When I booted the system, the disk controller was not found. The install kernel on the 0.7.1 CD found the controller, but the installed kernel did not (including the -full.img). If I boot the CD, and use vmlinuz root=/dev/hde5, I can boot into the system, however, I can't install any modules as they are invalid format (different kernels, I guess). So, any ideas?
The controller is a NetCell 5-port with 3 74GB Raptors in a RAID 3. The NetCell is driver-less, as of about 2.6.14, when it's ID was added to the generic IDE driver. Windows XP64 is installed on one of the partitions on the RAID, and Grub boots it without problems. This is going to be my new main workstation (it will only run Winbloze a few hours a week for games). From the install kernel boot messages: Revolution: IDE controller at PCI Slot 0000:09:04.0 Revolution: Chipset Revision 0 Revolution: 100% Native Mode on IRQ 10 Revolution: Simplex Device: DMA Forced ide2: BM-DMA at 0x3000-0x3007, BIOS Settings: hde:DMA, hdf:DMA Revolution: Simplex Device: DMA Forced ide3: BM-DMA at 0x3008-0x300F, BIOS Settings: hdg:DMA, hdh:DMA hde: NetCell Revolution SR5000 R3-3, ATA Disk Drive ide2 at 0x3020-0x3027, 0x3016 on IRQ 10 hde: Max Request Size 1024KiB hde: 290452224 sectors (148711 MB), CHS=18079/255/63 (U)DMA etc... None of the above appears when booting the installed kernel. Installed from Sony DVD drive connected as Master on the motherboards only IDE connector. Thank you, in advance, for any help. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
