Actually hell.. Dont know what to do. I am tryng to setup Gentoo on this
server all the day and whatever I try there is no luck. I used genkernel
andd Lilo and whenever I try to boot from HD I got:

Block device /dev/sda3 is not valid root device...
Could not find the root block device in.


Anyone knows at all any solution to this ? :/

Thanks

You have not compiled all the needed drivers into the kernel. You'll 
need drivers for your chipset, the scsi stuff and libata.

Try google, this has been asked and answered hundreds of times this year 
alone.

Alan

I tried everything, tor on all scsi stuff,almost all ata/sata stuff, but
still no luck :/ .Do you know exactly where to look for libata in kernel
menu ?

Thanks

[gentoo-user] %LDAP sudoers

[Mario Ignacio Rodríguez Cortés]

Hi list:

I have a problem at the moment that i try to execute a command as a sudo
user, quikly, I have two machines, the first is my LDAP server and the
second is my client on LDAP, the authentication whit any user that is in
the LDAP data base is succesful, but when i execute the sudo command i
get the following lines in the /var/log/messages:

nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 1 seconds)...
nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 2 seconds)...
nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)...
nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)...
nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable
uid 1050 does not exist in the passwd file! ; TTY=pts/9 ; PWD=unknown ;
USER=root ; COMMAND=vim
Unable to locate mail
Cannot open mail:25


I follow the guide sudo README.LDAP
(http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/readme_ldap.html) and i made all the steps in
this guide but the messages are still displayed, the guide say in
certain point that the sudoers file can be disabled putting in
the /etc/sudoers the line "Defaults ignore_local_sudoers", I did this
too but the same messages.

I don't understand why continues seek the user in the /etc/passwd file,
any idea?

Thanks to all.

And for the filesystem of the root fs.

with my Poweredge 2900, the live cd shows a different device to the
kernel, eg livecd shows my disks as sda, but the kernel shows the as
hda, or vice versa.  You might want to try all (h|s)da3 combinations...

Is AHCI set up correctly in your BIOS? Try toggling it and see if that 
helps.

On these lines, what CPU does this thing use? AFAIK Lilo has some issues
with newer (specifically AMD64 and 64-bit systems) hardware. I'm aware
that this server is equipped with an Intel CPU, but could it be that
Lilo simply doesn't support your hardware?

Unfortunately, it is proving harder than I expected to find a list of
Lilo supported hardware.

Well I just make a "progres" , I got kernel panic :). Then I could see
available devices listed by kernel and it says drives are hdc1-3 :/. On live
cd I see sda1-3. Now Lilo returns erorrs when trying to install it becouse
on Live Cd there is no hdc. Any idea how to solve this and install Lilo to
look at root=/dev/hdc3 ?

Thanks

Done!

Switched back to genkernel but now with hdc3 as root and it booted Ok. Thank
God ,and offcourse you guys for trying to help :)

When the kernel says your disk is hd*, then it is a PATA disk. When it
says it's sd*, it could be pretty much everything: PATA (with new libata
driver), SATA, SCSI, USB,...

So I would guess that the LiveCD uses the new libata, while you're using
the old driver. Make sure you compile in the needed PATA drivers for
your chipset (maybe CONFIG_SATA_AHCI works).

What does lspci report?

Because the LiveCD uses the new driver for PATA disks, which is makes
them look like SCSI disks, as is true for SATA.
