 Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 3:50 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Kernel won't run on 2xIDE RAID |
 |
|
I followed official gentoo howto on fast gentoo withRAID+LVM2 installation, but something went wrong and my kernel produce this error while booting: | Code: | (...)
md: ... autorun DONE
md: Unknown device name: hde3
VFS: cannot open root device "md3" on unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel-Panic not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
I also read this topic, but still I can't get over it. Maybe I forgot some drivers/configs/overdone something. Please help me with your advice.

Did you configure the mdadm.conf file for when you boot up?

| i tried to, but in howto there is no word about touching this conf. i tried adding devices and arrays, but it doesn't matter if I do anything. if I'm wrong, please correct me. Btw - if /etc/mdadm.conf is in md3 partition (which causes problem to kernel and can't be mounted) would it change anything if I configured mdadm.conf? |

Don't worry about /etc/mdadm.conf it does not have any effect on booting.
The problem you are having is in the kernel.
If your harddrives are plugged into this controller

then you need to include this driver, if you want it to work.

| [SOLVED] thanks a lot. should I kick anything from my kernel? now I added everything from lsmod and I'm not sure if I need everything... (e.g. jfs, e1000, some sata controllers) |
