Each time I install the Kernel on my Centos 4.1 box
with software raid1 I get the following message:

WARNING: No module mptbase found for kernel 2.6.8-022stab072.2, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module mptscsih found for kernel 2.6.8-022stab072.2, continuing anyway
WARNING: No module raid1 found for kernel 2.6.8-022stab072.2, continuing anyway

And it hangs at boot up.
Any suggestions?

Regards
GW

Would be helpful to know
(1) exact kernel version you are trying to boot
(2) output of lspci and lspci -n
(3) what kernel says when it tries to boot

1) From the original message:
kernel 2.6.8-022stab072.2

3) It just hangs during initialization.
I will check again for precise hang point.

BTW works like a charm on system without RAID.
That is why I assume the installation warnings which
are all associated with IO and RAID1 is related to the
problem.

As mentioned it is the Linux software based RAID and not
hardware based raid as in a controller. However below is the

> WARNING: No module raid1 found for kernel 2.6.8-022stab072.2, continuing anyway

This should be no problem as the raid1 is build into the openvz kernel not as a module, so it cannot find the raid1 module and have this warning.

Software RAID-1 should be no problem to use as we're using exactly the same openvz kernel in our production openvz server and booting with Linux Software RAID-1 on /. However we run it under Fedora Core 4 (should be not much difference?)

Maybe you can check the config of the grub.conf?

thanks!

your SCSI controller
03:05.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev c1)
is supported by OpenVZ kernel, which you confirmed when said that it boots fine w/o RAID.

mptbase, mptscsih, raid1 are builtin into kernel.

So I suppose 2 possible reasons for your issue:
1. do you use CentOS4.1? not upgraded to 4.3?
2. do you use LVM?
3. check your initrd/grub settings. This is most likely problem I suppose.
4. boot messages would be helpful. Otherwise we need to guess instead of helping you ASAP Smile

2. LVM is a problem on CentOS4.3 only, but will be fixed in 076 kernel.

Tested on another server with software raid and similar
raid1 installation warnings. The server freezes at start
of GRUB initialization, i.e.

GRUB...

And I never changed the Grub kernel boot option, so I thought
at least I would have had the option to select which kernel
to boot from the GRUB screen.

Strange.
I will try upgrading to Centos 4.3 and see if that changes
anything.

This changes a lot!

Do you have graphical boot with CentOS4?
cat you post your /etc/grub.conf here?
