I installed Mandrake 7.2 for the first time. I am trying to get
"rescue" to work. I can't get it to see my SCSI drives with
reiserfs. The good news is that I do not need "rescue" now, but I do
need to learn how to use it!
When the machine is booted normally it needs the aic7xxx module to see
the scsi drive. I have tried:
modprobe aic7xxx
lsmod tells me that the reiserfs, aic7xxx, and scsi_mod are loaded.
Reiserfs is unused.
scsi_mod used by aic7xxx
aic7xxx unused
When I give the command:
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 /mnt
I get the "-- help screen" and the message:
mount: The kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device.
(maybe `insmod driver')
I also have tried starting with the command:
rescue scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
I have also tried starting in "expert" mode then switching to the
shell.
Anyone know how to see these drives? If I was doing this on a damaged
machine I would think it was dead!
Thanks.
