Under kernel-2.6.16-1.2133 my system boots a raid 0 volume on a Promise
PDC 20376 that looks like:-
[root at www ~]# dmraid -s
*** Active Set
name : pdc_fiagfhab
size : 625163264
stride : 128
type : stripe
status : ok
subsets: 0
devs : 2
spares : 0
All FC5 kernel-2.6.17's including 2145 won't boot on my system. The
boot volume is a raid
0 array on a Promise PDC20376 (FastTrak) :-
#Loading jbd.ko module
#Loading ext3.ko module
#Locading dm-mod.ko module
#device-mapper: 4.6.0-ioctl (2006-02-17) initialised:
dm-devel at redhat.com
#Loading dm-mirror.ko module
#Loading dm-zero.ko module
#Loading dm-snapshot.ko module
#Making device-mapper control mode
Kernel 2.6.17-2145_FC5 Then hangs !!
I am presuming kernel-2.6.17 kernels doesn't boot because it is not
recognising my LVM volume setup with 2.6.16 kernel
using /dev/mapper/pdc_fiagfhabp2 on the Promise PDC20376. Maybe it has
changed the device mapper name for this device? :-
VolGroup00 {
id = "4NcUZI-LeMy-MC6H-V3hJ-vRmm-BVK5-OKEi8R"
seqno = 3
status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"]
extent_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
max_lv = 0
max_pv = 0
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "Pf0oSr-CTGB-9iGn-42Xz-TYOt-z0DT-t2YUIK"
device = "/dev/mapper/pdc_fiagfhabp2" #Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
pe_start = 384
pe_count = 9535 # 297.969 Gigabytes
}
}
logical_volumes {
LogVol00 {
id = "7ZvkdR-OZbv-N5T6-aqNW-44io-H2pv-wIgN43"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
segment_count = 1
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 9472 # 296 Gigabytes
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 0
]
}
}
LogVol01 {
id = "D1PqSj-Giji-IhD3-AtXU-jtFk-hl2D-3fP24h"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
segment_count = 1
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 62 # 1.9375 Gigabytes
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 9472
]
}
}
}
}
Any ideas how to debug the boot problem with Kernel 2.6.17 FC5 and
Promise RAID controllers when the system won't boot with a 2.6.17 FC5
kernel?
