 |
|
I'm trying to install on a Sun Fire X4100, using the AMD64 minimal install CD, and having a really weird problem.
The box has two hard drives, which I've successfully configured as a mirror. Gentoo boots, loads what I think are the right kernel modules, and there's a /dev/sda, as expected, but fdisk and cfdisk can't open the device.
Earlier, I had VMware ESX 3.0 running on this same system (Linux kernel 2.4.21, presumably with some VMware modifications), and it worked fine; I've also tried the Gentoo install with two identical machines and had the same problem, so I don't think this is a hardware issue.
Here's my output from lsmod:

From what I can tell, and from some instructions I found for booting Debian on this hardware, here:
http://www.inserve.se/edu/debian/
...it seems that the mpt* modules should be all I need. Right? Or have I missed something?
I found a reference in another thread on this forum saying that a different LSI SCSI driver had been broken in kernel 2.6.15, with symptoms similar to this. Could the same issue be biting me?
Thanks for any ideas...
