Just to be masochistic I decided to make a backup of the working 2.6.5-7.95 kernel and installed the kernel patch through YOU. For some reason now it's working perfectly. I'm guessing that the update system function I mentioned in my last post somehow fixed the problem. Added some notes below also. On Monday 12 July 2004 10:39 am, Andy Coleman wrote:
Hi again, thanks to Anders Johansson we figured out that /dev/900 is my /dev/md0.
old-Kernel: 2.6.4-52-default (SuSe 9.1) /dev/hda1 = boot /dev/hda3 + /dev/hdb3 = /dev/md0 = / #(root)
After upgrading the Kernel with YOU to 2.6.5-7.--somthing the box no longer boots. the boot stops with the message: Waiting for device /dev/900.... not found !
As a clarification I was running 9.1 w/the default kernel (2.6.4-2?) and experienced these problems when updating to the 2.6.5-7.95 kernel patch through YAST.
I experienced the same problem just recently. Part of my setup:
/dev/md0 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/md1 /boot reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/md2 /home reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/md3 /srv reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/md4 /var reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
I booted with the 9.1 boot cd and went to the update system option and accepted all of the default sections. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to what packages it had to install. After I did this I still had the 2.6.5-7.95 kernel (at least that's what YAST says) but it works with no problems.
I have no idea why this works... I'm just hoping that the info can help someone get past this problem.
