On the boot prompt, specify the modules to load like this (in one /single/ line):
insmod=i2o_core insmod=i2o_block insmod=i2o_config
There is more on linuxrc boot prompt parameters in the linuxrc docs, see /usr/share/doc/packages/linuxrc (these docs are in the package linuxrc).
Hi Leen, Thank you for your reply and for helping with my kernel education. Unfortunately, the insmod= trick did not work; right at the point where the i2o drivers are due to get loaded I get a kernel panic. These drivers load fine from another SuSE 9.1 installation on a set of IDE disks. The prompt shows: Starting udev Creating devices Loading kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko Warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory. VFS: Cannot open root device "5003" or unknown-block (80,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (80,3) Any ideas? I can access all of this installation's partitions when booted from a different set of disks, so if you need me to look at something specific, I can. Thank you again, Mark -- ___________________________________________________ A Message From... L. Mark Stone Reliable Networks of Maine, LLC 477 Congress Street Portland, ME 04101 (207) 772-5678
