Hi, I'm trying to install gentoo on a small server in full sw-raid1 setup, using info in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-tipsntricks.xml
I have a similar setup with /boot / and swap on md. After creating md's I continued with installation using info in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/index.xml I recompilled kernel with md-support (no modules), installed boot-loader (lilo, on /dev/md0), created /etc/fstab, emerged mdadm, etc, etc... Everything was OK until 10.d: Rebooting the System When booting into new system (this time from disks, not from installation cd), I got following messages: --------------------------------------------------------------------- ... <up to here everything normal, all md's correctly autodetected>... * mounting sysfs at sys ... can't create lock file /etc/mtab1008: Read only file-system (use -n flag to override) [!!] ...<again everything normal up to>... * checking root filesystem ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/md1 is mounted fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/md1 /dev/md1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contain an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> * Filesystem could not be fixed :-( [!!] Give root-password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup): --------------------------------------------------------------------- Then I logged as root and tried that "e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/md1" with the same error. Rebooting did not change anything... BTW, I repeated the whole installation 3 times, even with different pair of disks (I thought there is some hw-error), but no difference... What now? Could someone tell me where the problem is? Thanks, Jarry -- [email protected] mailing list
