hi, I met the same problem with an opteron machine with SCSI disk. Have there been an answer to this question yet? Thanks. --- Steve Glines <sglines@is-cs.com> wrote:
Hi Anas, Thanks for the help. I've made all the fixes you and Marcin Kurc suggested but the system still refuses to see the scsi disks. Here is the data. The target system is an HP Proliant ML350 G3 with a single 40GB SCSI disk.
The script shown in sles9/CD1/docu/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html doesn't work so I've modified it thus (feel free to reuse it):
#From the top directory umask 0 mkdir -p sles9/CD1
# now copy the contents of SLES CD1 into this directory echo "Mount CD1" read x mount /dev/cdrom sleep 10 cp -r /cdrom/* sles9/CD1 eject
mkdir -p core9/CD1
# now copy the contents of SLES CD2 into this directory echo "Mount CD2" read x sleep 10 mount /dev/cdrom cp -r /cdrom/* core9/CD1 eject
mkdir -p core9/CD2
# now copy the contents of SLES CD3 into this directory echo "Mount CD3" read x sleep 10 mount /dev/cdrom cp -r /cdrom/* core9/CD2 eject
mkdir -p core9/CD3
# now copy the contents of SLES CD4 into this directory echo "Mount CD4" read x sleep 10 mount /dev/cdrom cp -r /cdrom/* core9/CD3 eject
mkdir -p core9/CD4
now copy the contents of SLES CD5 into this directory echo "Mount CD5" read x sleep 10 mount /dev/cdrom cp -r /cdrom/* core9/CD4 eject
mkdir -p core9/CD5
now copy the contents of SLES CD6 into this directory echo "Mount CD6" read x sleep 10 mount /dev/cdrom cp -r /cdrom/* core9/CD5 eject
ln -s sles9/CD1/boot boot
ln -s sles9/CD1/content content
ln -s sles9/CD1/control.xml control.xml
ln -s sles9/CD1/media.1 media.1
mkdir -p yast
echo "/sles9/CD1 /sles9/CD1 /core9/CD1 /core9/CD1" > yast/instorder
echo "/sles9/CD1 /sles9/CD1 /core9/CD1 /core9/CD1" > yast/order
---------------------------------
After PXE booting the system stalls when it can't find a hard disk. When I look in /var/log/boot.log I find:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter errorno=2
If I run "/sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter" directly from a shell I get "Kernel requires old modprobe no /sbin/modprobe.old."
------------------------------------------- Here is the current line from my default file:
label suse kernel suse.kernel append initrd=suse.root ramdisk_size=65536 \ install=http://10.0.3.11/suse
