9.1 update fails to boot LSI Megaraid
good day all ... ok, a clean install on my HDAMA dual 242 system works fine. i update to the current kernel via YOU this morning and now i have megaraid problems. boot sequence goes as: start udev creating devices loading scsi_mod.ko scsi subsystem init loading sd_mod.ko loading megaraid_mm.ko megaraid_mm: 1.0.0rc1 (release date monday may 17) loading megaraid.ko megaraid: ingnoring new style parameters ... megaraid: 2.20.0.rc1 (release date monday may 17) megaraid: probe new devices ... megaraid mailbox: status not available megaraid: inquiry3 failed megaraid: maibox adapter did not initialize ... loading reiserfs.ko then it tries to find the root filesystem on sd1 and fails because its on the raid array. is this a known lsi megaraid issuse, is there a workaround or fix? will loading one of the KOTD kernels help? -- michael
Hi suse-amd64! ok, it seems this is again the large memory issue, with some help from penguin computing, i did a clean install and a you update, with the addition of adding 1. Edit the grub boot entry and add an *additional* line that says: uppermem 3000000 2. Add to the kernel command line: mem=3000000k to the grub config. the kernel update boots fine with that. penguin is exploring fixes to this bug. -- michael On Tue, 22 Jun 2004, Michael Galloway wrote:

is this a known lsi megaraid issuse, is there a workaround or fix? will loading one of the KOTD kernels help?

Prime suspect would be the firmware of your Megaraid. They had bugs with addressing high memory addresses in the past. Perhaps you can get an upgrade for that from somewhere? -Andi
