I have worked with that upgrade for the last two days.
At first, i have tryied the online update from 11.3 to 11.4, and after a first reboot, the system hangs with an error like "unable to mount VFS root" at boot time. Booted it with a 11.4 rescue cd, and i can see the module hpsa, and not cciss. The raid is seen as /dev/sdx. Previously, into the 11.3 it was seen as /dev/cciss/.... According from what read at that link - http://cciss.sourceforge.net/ - that controller (Smart Array P410i), it uses hpsa. Into the previous kernels, it uses module cciss.
Right.
So, i have tried to fix it modifying fstab, mtab, system.map, and reinstalling grub (by the rescue disk, mounting disks, dev and proc, and chrooting it on the rescue), but with no success.
My last (and working try), is to re-install all from the scratch.
My questions are two:
- Any chance to have a working upgrade procedure with systems having that hardware? As i can think, that is a bad issue.
Please report it if you haven't already. https://bugzilla.novell.com/
- How to fix a situation like this with rescue? I have tryied it, but something is wrong....
Two things - 1) correct the references to /dev/cciss/whatever to /dev/disk/by-id links, and 2) rebuild the initrd (because it now requires module hpsa instead of cciss). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
