 Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:57 pm Post subject: /dev/cciss /dev/ida device nodes missing |
 |
|
I am installing AMD64 on a HP DL365 with a SmartArray P400 SAS RAID controller. The install disk boots, finds the controller and the device nodes (/dev/cciss/c0dX are there. I am able to get the install done, but when i reboot i get "/dev/cciss!c0d0p3 is not a valid block device". Sure enough, there is no cciss OR ida in /dev. I have the driver (smart2 and 5xxx) built in to the kernel, previously they were modules.
I've read through quite a few other posts, and nothing seems to match up to my problem, or the solution doesn't fix anything.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
TIA-

Does the kernel find the controller?
example:
| Quote: |
Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.6.0)
cpqarray: Device 0xae10 has been found at bus 4 dev 0 func 0
cpqarray: Finding drives on ida0 (Smart Array 3200)
cpqarray ida/c0d0: blksz=512 nr_blks=35551845
ida/c0d0: p1 p2 p3 p4
HP CISS Driver (v 3.6.10)

My devices show up as /dev/ida/c0d0p1 at boot time yet I seem to remember them being something different during the install.
I have this output form lspci:
| Code: | | 00:01.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53C1510 (rev 02) |
the utility array probe (emerge arrayprobe) shows me this:
| Code: | # arrayprobe -r
failed to open device /dev/cciss/c0d0: No such file or directory
Logical drive 0 found on controller /dev/ida/c0d0
Logical drive 0 on controller /dev/ida/c0d0 has state 0
OK Arrayprobe All controllers ok |
Perhaps your devices are also know as /dev/ida/blah too? |

Post your .config of the actual kernel.
I have a few machines like yours using gentoo and they are working just fine, took me a few hours to get them started tho  |

I *just* went through this. Try enabling the following in your kernel:
Device Drivers -> Block Devices -> Compaq SMART2 support
Device Drivers -> Block Devices -> Compaq Smart Array 5xxx support |

| Just another confirmation that the above comment from TheHistorian worked for me on a couple of G2 DL380s |
