can't mount root filesystem "901" or "
/dev/md1"
.config included. Any suggestions?You are using devfs so you need to tell your kernel the devfs name of the root device,
/dev/md/1. Or even better just turn devfs off.
Thanks, that did work out. I was confused, since the kernel also told me the major and minor device number and so I thought it already knows which device to mount.
But now another problem shows up:
May 22 23:34:01 frodo kernel: ide_dmaq_intr: stat=42, not expected May 22 23:34:01 frodo kernel: ide_dmaq_intr: stat=40, not expected May 22 23:34:01 frodo last message repeated 34 times
I get these messages from the kernel *a lot*, as you can see on the repeat line. It's mostly stat=40, sometimes stat=42.
My two disks are attached to the onboard Promise RAID Controller (I use it only as an IDE controller, not for RAID - Linux SoftRAID seems faster).
I included my "lspci -v" output so you can read out the exact mainboard and IDE/RAID controller chipset.
For my harddrives, here's a snipplet from hdparm -i /dev/hd[ac]:
Model=IC35L080AVVA07-0, FwRev=VA4OA52A, SerialNo=VNC402A4CMNT6A Model=IC35L080AVVA07-0, FwRev=VA4OA52A, SerialNo=VNC402A4L7D3XA
(Yes, two identical IBM Deskstars with 80GB - those IBM beasts that tend to complete crash unrecoverably after some months, that's why I have two of them on a RAID 1)
