 Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 2:09 pm Post subject: Resolved: Grub or kernel issue? |
 |
|
I've spent more time than I'd like on this but apparently not enough because it's not fixed. So I have this mediatomb server that's been serving up my house just fine for the past 18 months and it's time to upgrade the storage. I bought a cheap sata raid cardand a pair of WD WD10EADS 1TB 32M drives and put them in. I've used softraid on the existing drives, so I know my mdadm softraid+XFS boot works just fine. So, after I put the new drives in, I go to boot and I get past the grub menu and into the boot
| Code: |
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
|
Now, if I shut it down and yank the sata connections, it boots fine - I wait until it gets into the initlevels and I can plug the drives into the new controller just fine. When I log in, I can use mke2fs, mdadm on them just fine, and they're formatted ext3 right now because eventually I want to encrypt them. I haven't put any data on them right now because I'm not sure how well it would work with me constantly yanking the cables out to get it to boot.
So here's my lspci -k

And... I went into my BIOS and absolutely made sure my existing 500G pair is the first in the boot order ( bot in drive order as well as channel ( floppy/cd/network/external) order.
I'm missing something and it's really driving me nets.... Please help!

Likely a drive attached to the new controller has jumped into line as sda3.
when grub starts, drop into the edit mode (enter e) on the choice that boots with the new controller removed. Then edit (select the kernel line and enter e) the root=/dev/sda3 to root=sdc3. Then enter and enter b to try to boot. |

You're exactly right  I didn't pay attention during the boot and the drives on the NForce reported as HDD2 and HDD3 and the JMicron ones showed up as HDD0 and 1.. I edited my mdadm.conf, grub.conf, fstab and mtab with the new values and it came up like a champ Thanks!!!!!!!!!! |
