[gentoo-user] Installation AMD64 with SCSI

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi folks,

  After download gentoo-universal for AMD64, what is the right steps
should I need to do to install gentoo on a Opteron AMD64 with adaptec
SCSI controler?

Thanks

Leandro

Leandro, you can start by going through the handbook and following the
steps.  Maybe print off if you don't have a second system to view while
installing.  Post more specific problem if you encounter one.  When
configuring the kernel you will need to enable specific options depending
on hardware.  You can use lspci to get some hardware information.

Here's the handbook:

do a normal installation.
when building the kernel, build scsi support, scsi harddisk support and the 
aic7xxx or whichever adaptec driver is the correct one for you, into the 
kernel.

your grub.conf line should look like this:
title=2.6
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3  nmi_watchdog =1

(or sda2 or 5 or whereever root is)

(because make install not only copies the files to /boot, it creates a vmlinuz 
symlink to the just installed kernel. And a vmlinuz.old symlink to the 
previous used one. Very comfortable.)

Ok... now I'm stuck here:

ramdisk compressed image found at block
ufs: was compiled with read-only support, can't be mounted as read-write
udf-fs: no particition found (1)
xfs: bad magic number
xfs: sb validate failed
kernel panic - not synching: vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown
block (8,18)

Thank should I need to to?

What filesystem is your / partition?  Do you have support for it *built 
in* to your kernel?  It looks like it found a valid UFS partition, but 
failed because it couldn't mount it RW... try making UFS RWable and see 
if it helps.

is there any GOOD reason for using an initrd?

Really? I can't imagine any.

Second, what is this ufs stuff? This is linux. Kick out ufs, make the 
partitions linux, with ext3 or reiserfs or xfs or jfs. Make a udf, iso9660 
and fat module, and don't build the other fs (except sysfs,proc etc).

Build everything needed to boot INTO the kernel. Again, what are the 
advantages of a initrd? Except that it is another instance in boot that costs 
time and may be introduce a cause of failure?

Hi Ryan,
  The / partition is ext3. The ufs message is just a warning. I don't
need UFS support. Any other clue?

Re: [gentoo-user] Installation AMD64 with SCSI

Hi Hemmann,

   well, I don't have a good reason to use initrd, but this is an
attempt to try putting gentoo running on my server. I'll kick out ufs
but I don't think that this is the problem.
  Yes, before try to use initrd I put everthing I need *built in* but
didn't work. Any other clue?

Thanks,

Leandro.

your fstab is correct?
you HAVE ext2/3 in your kernel?
you did not accidentally remove pc-partition support?

Hi Hemmann,

  thanks to answer. I re-check /etc/fstab and everything seems to be
ok. Yes, I have ext2/3 in the kernel. I think that problem stay in
SCSI support, is there something that I need to check? About
pc-partition support, what you really want to say about it?

Thank you once again,

Leandro.

I mean this:
  │ │[*]   PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support (NEW)   

under Advanced Partition support.

btw, scsi harddisk support is compiled into the kernel?

You can use it, except when booting the new kernel?

when you boot a livecd, can you mount the partitions?

and the livecd uses tha aacraid driver too?

is the grub entry really correct? maybe it looks after the wrong harddrive?

(I had this problem some weeks ago. hda, sda. When booted, hda was drive 0 for 
grub, when booting, sda was drive 0 for grub. Took me some time to find the 
cause of my wrongly booting system).

Re: [gentoo-user] Installation AMD64 with SCSI

Well,

  I have /dev/sda1 as my / partition. So, I setup my grub.conf like this:

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.16
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.16.img root=/dev/sda1 udev noapic acpi=off

and my /etc/fstab looks like this:

/dev/sda1                      /                   ext3
noatime         0 1
/dev/sdb1                      none             swap           sw
          0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom    iso9660       noauto,ro       0 0
/dev/fd0                        /mnt/floppy     auto            noauto
         0 0

I don't know what is wrong...

Any tip?

well, in a previos mail you wrote this:
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.15.img root=/dev/sdb2 ramdisk=8192

if it looks at your swap partition in believe it is the / partition, it can 
not boot ;)

Oh, and make it:

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.16.img root=/dev/sda1 udev noapic acpi=off

btw, any good reasons for noapic and acpi off?
