Hello
I have successfully installed SLES9 SP2 via autoyast and are now switching to SLES9 SP3 install-source.
Install goes fine, but after reboot I get:
Waiting for device /dev/sda5 to appear: .....not found -- device nodes: <list of devices, no sda> No root device found: exiting to bin/sh
It a machine with SATA-controller, and it seems like SATA-support is missing from the installed kernel?
I read in the docs that the system with drivers has changed, now a custom initrd is built during install. Seems like it cannot identify the correct driver for the SATA-card and does add that to the initrd.
How do I add this driver myself during install? ( Or, is this really another problem? )
install it with the SLES9-SP3-CD1
Greetings. I work with Daniel. I tried the SLES9 SP3 RC4 CD1 and the same problem occurs. During the installation, the SATA drive is recognized and the software is properly installed. But on the first reboot, /dev/sda cannot be found.
