We have just bought a IBM x3250 server which has a "LSI Logic SAS1064E Fusion-MPT SAS" storage controller.
I am using Live CD install version 2006.1. Standard installation goes fine: recognizes the drives, formats the partitions, installs, no problem, but when I reboot ... the booted system does not seem to recognize the controller. I get the following error: !! Block device /dev/sda3 is not a valid root device ... !! The root block device is unspecified or not detected. Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell ... Boot() :: The module that during installation is loaded is "mptsas", but during boot of the system it does not seem to load this module (at least I cannot see it among the other dozen SCSI modules it is tying to load). I think ths is a bug, and I have already filed it in bugs.gentoo.org, but in the meantime can anybody give me some suggestion on what to do? Clemente -- [email protected] mailing list
