Hi there,
my problem is with the installation of potato using customized boot disks from Kevin
Trass (http://www.merilus.com/~kevin/aacraid.html) and Mr. Nokubi
(http://www.eal.or.jp/~nokubi/aacraid-disk/).
I boot rescue and root. The PERCRAID is recognized as well as the containers (RAID1
and RAID5) according to dmesg.
I then use cfdisk to create partitions. Everything works fine. Partition tables are
written.
But initializing a partition creates a "Kernel Panic: Inactive in
scsi_request_queueable In swapper_task - not syncing". mke2fs writes a number of
inodes and then crashes.
My 1st workaround: I used RedHat 7.0 and its disk tool Disk Druid to create the
partitions and install a minimal RedHat installation. Interestingly, RedHat writes the
file systems without any problem using mke2fs. I then rebott with one of the
customized boot disks and "rm -r *" everything just to get a clean partition
(remember: I can't use mke2fs from either one of the boot disks). I then install my
system from /dev/fd0 according to the hints from Kevin Traas. I insert rescue and all
3 driver floppies and the problem is here again. When trying to install drivers.tgz I
get a "Kernel Panic: ..." just like above.
My question is: What am I doind wrong and how can I install Debian 2.2r2 on my system?
Thanks in advance
Stefan
