[CentOS] 3.5 kernel panic on boot

2011-04-05 Thread Bruce Ferrell
Yes, I know 3.5 is old.  However in this case it's required for a legacy 
app.

a fresh install get's me:

kmod:  failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-104, errno = 2

followed by:

VFS:  Cannot open root device cciss/c0d0p2 or 68:02

The system is an HP DL380 G4.  any thought on what could cause this?

the rescue system is able to mount the disk and grub-install works to 
re-install grub on the device.

TIA

errno =2 = No such file or directory

I presume you have working copies of CentOS 3.5, so 

Compare /etc/modprobe.conf between working and new system
Compare /lib/modules/ between working and new system

Does your installed system have the cciss device entries that are needed?
Is the cciss driver reflected in your /etc/modprobe.conf, and was it there 
when the initrd was built?

If you're missing your /dev/cciss entries locating and running mkdev.cciss 
should create them.

What legacy app? You should install centos 5.5 and run legacy app
under virtual machine running centos 3.5 ..
