Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] vosonic usb drive, SCSI_MULTI_LUN, won't boot
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 14:54:22 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1134451462.10637.10.camel@orpheus> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1134440864.10068.8.camel@orpheus>

Well, its semi-solved I had to set

CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y

However I had to upgrade to 2.6.15-rc5, because 2.6.15-rc1 won't boot
for me anymore.

I initially thought it was because of the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN, but I
went back to an old (working) config file, and it still doesn't boot:

>> Mounting root...
>> Booting (initramfs)...unmount: /dev: Device or resource busy
*: Failed to unmount the initrd /dev!
..
INIT: version 2.86 booting

[some usual boot stuff]

fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda7
/dev/hda7:
The superblock could not be read or does not ...[blah blah blah]

I think it might be genkernel which I just upgraded from 3.3.6 to 3.3.8.
Any ideas?

I can't stay with 2.6.15-rc5 because other things don't work, and I
can't go back to 2.6.15-rc1 because it won't boot...

At least, /var/log/messages now shows:

as you can see, sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd (including sdd1) which is the
internal HD - woohoo.  If only I could boot...

thanks for the help so far!
