What Can i do? It seems that the modules for the scsi disk are not loaded Any tips
Check /etc/sysconfig/kernel MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="reiserfs,<megaraid>" to see if you are loading the scsi driver as well as reiserfs. You should be able to boot from CD and do a repair action. I have always used a roundabout way by booting timos rescuecd or knoppix, mounting the root partition as /mnt, then "chroot /mnt", making the changes and running mkinitrd, then rebooting.
