Hi. I''ve used ghost for change the ide disk for an array of scsi in raid using an adaptec controller 2110s. Now when I boot it didn''t boot correctly. Looking for in Internet (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_46_4969.shtm) I guest that I have to rebuild the initial ramdisk to contain the proper kernel modules for the adaptec controller. But what is the kernel module for

Hi people, I installed a via SATA controller in a CentOS release 3.8 (Final) - I needed additional disk space. After the first boot, the kudzu service, added the following line to /etc/modules.conf: alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via and I rebooted. After reboot in dmesg one can see: scsi0 : sata_via scsi1 : sata_via Vendor: ATA Model: SAMSUNG HD080HJ Rev: WT10 Type: Direct-Access

Hi all, A few months ago, I migrated some of our internal servers to HP blades, as the VMWare box they were previously running on was getting too slow. However, it wasn't without it's problems, and eventually the only way I could get them to work was: Install the same version of CentOS on the blade (believed to be 5.0, but /etc/redhat-release says 5.2) Took down both servers, booting

Folks, Mercurial is selectable as an installation in OpenSUSE 10.3 YAST. I have done the following: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg make dist sh ./install.sh I tried running the following to create the initrd but it failed: Depending on your config, you may need to use ''mkinitrd'' to

Mm, I have a big Quad-Opteron.. thing.. that I''m trying to get Xen onto. I''ve used the 3.0.2 binary-install mode, updated menu.lst as per the README, but I need an initrd which contains the HP cciss RAID driver, and no Xen initrd image was installed into /boot. Now I notice xen-3.0.2-2-install/install/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/kernel/drivers /block/cciss.ko But I

Hello everyone. I am looking for a way to move a CentOS 4 installed production hard disk to another system (which has another hardware). The first has an nvidia sata controller (sata_nv), but the second has a via sata (sata_via). For all the rest of the hardware it can upgrade well I know, but if the sata driver is different, then the system doesn't boot because the proper driver is not

Hi, I just changed the motherboard of a centos 4.4 installation for a new one. this new one has a SIS chipset. Now when i boot from the hard disk i get a kernel panic (unable to find root, no hdd found , etc) I have identified the module I need to load to make centos "see" the disks. Now the question is what do I need to modify in my existing installation, to tell centos to use the new

Hi, Any one know how the Centos 5 kickstart initrd.img was built? I'll be very appreciated if any light can be shed on this topic. The basic problem to be solved here is: how to build a custom vmlinuz+initrd.img for Centos 5 kickstart with my own custom built kernel? I am not sure mkinitrd is the right tool for this purpose? If do, which are the modules I should include with

Hi, anyone to point me URL on initrd.img creating? I have custom kernel and want to create initrd.img for install media. mkinitrd /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.hrb -v -f create unusable file for install media. Thanks, David

Folks- I have had a machine dropped in my lap that I am trying to get CentOS 4.1 to run on as a first pass (the hope is for it to eventually run Rocks -- http://www.rocksclusters.org , which uses CentOS 4.x as its underlying OS). The machine has 2 Opteron 250DP (2.4GHz) with 4 GB of RAM. It is using a Tyan Thunder K8WE (S2895A2NRF) motherboard with an nVidia nForce chipset --

Here is the usage for Fedora usage: mkinitrd [--version] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>] [--omit-scsi-modules] [--omit-raid-modules] [--omit-lvm-modules] [--with=<module>] [--image-version] [--fstab=<fstab>] [--nocompress] [--builtin=<module>] [--nopivot] <initrd-image> <kernel-version> (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img

> I''m guessing that the initrd created for dom0 in general > won''t work for > domU domains. I''m not sure what to do about that. If this is a -xen kernel, we should create a an initrd that can be used by both dom0 and domU, i.e. it has the necessary hardware drivers, but also the front end drivers. Aren''t there various differences between different

Posted a similar version of this to the RHEL4 list... I''m having trouble getting CentOS 4.2 installed on a DL140G2 with two SATA drives. I am doing a PXE install, so I do not have a CD-ROM drive in the system and this appears to have the side-effect that both SATA drives are caught by the Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver before ata_piix can catch it. As soon as I hook an IDE CD-ROM

Hi, had a few problems with using xen: First: built a xen from source (tgz) and make dist ... then made initrd with mkinitrd and modules=all in the mkinitrd.conf -> initrd.img was 14mb and set it up in the grub with module /initrd.... on boot it loads the initrd like: Loading ramdisk into ram .... done but then NO MODULES in the initrd are being loaded by the kernel, though initrd

Hi, I just created a Xen domU using http to install over the network. How do I now restart the domU and use the installed OS? I gather I need a initrd image to boot my guest. I''ve found bits and pieces of answers to my question referring to mkinitrd, but none seem to work. I am running Scientific Linux 5. Thanks in advance, Cam _______________________________________________

OK sorry to hammer the list but one more question - having almost got the drives mirrored and happy - since I have created a custom initrd that has the raid1 drivers in it, do I now have to tell yum to ignore kernel updates? Will the stock kernel render me unbootable? Actually I am not 100% sure the initrd I created # mkinitrd -f --preload=raid1 /mnt/tmp/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` is

Hi Can anyone show me how to make a new initrd for a newly rolled kernel? I have to install a 'custom' 2.6.14 kernel and i have build the kernel and now just trying to build the initrd cd /boot mkinitrd initrd-2.6.14.img 2.6.14 No module mptbase found for kernel 2.6.14, aborting. What am i doing wrong? thanks

Greetings list! Because of the sheer number of box (re)installations we do that have a CentOS base, I've converted our provisioning process to PXE. However, I've found that an alarming number of motherboards are coming with the Realtek RTL8168 ethernet controller onboard. When the system boots, it cannot find an ethernet controller and the installer process hangs. I made a new initrd

virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert this full virt machine to para virt . Under my domU i have installed kernel-xen (since it is needed ) , and edited my grub menu to use the installed kernel. My grub menu file in domU looks like: ---- kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen ro
