Hi,

my hw needs at least kernel 2.6.14. any chance to get this working with current patch file and kernel config ?

Thank you, Peter.

What makes you think so? If it is some drivers etc. - we have backported a lot of drivers to our kernel, so either just try it out (and file a bug if it is not working), or you can look up your hardware in the HCL.

Hi Kir,

many thanks for your reply.

> What makes you think so?

I install current kernel RPM on a Fedora 3 dedicated root server from remote. Then the server does not boot. (The only thing i can see from remote is there is nothing in /var/log/dmesg).

Install procedure gives warning about module raid1 not available (but i thinkt it is build-in).

The hosting company recomend when kernel is changed to change to at least 2.6.14, hw may not work with other, they said.

Looks like you have some troubles with initrd image creation.
Try to run mkinitrd manually with --builtin=raid1 option

Thank you,
Vasily Averin

Probably they told you so just because don't want to bother with it...
Please, try what Vasiliy wrote to you and if it doesn't help, then send us an output of lspci and lspci -n commands output, so we could check what hardware is it and by which driver it is supported.

I do have exactly the same problem. Unfortunately some of the newer Fujitsu Siemens machines seem to make use of an SiS SATA chipset which is only supported in >2.6.14(.2?).

Theres also a bug report in bugzilla, #81. However i'd very much appreciate a quick fix for this problem... Wink

Antarion,
could you please send us lspci -n output and tell us the version of driver with support your hardware.

thank you,

The problem is related to the SiS 182 (SATA) Chipset, see:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4192
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLo g-2.6.14-rc1

The first kernel i actually got the SiS 182 chipset to work with is 2.6.14, the driver used is sata_sis.

(Also posted this to bugzilla for future reference)

I've not been able to try an installation with RHEL4 yet.
Current CentOS failed miserably though.

hello Torsten,

Our default policy is do not update any drivers over than ones from latest RHEL4 kernel due stability reasons.

But you can backport this driver himself. If the driver will work correct on your node, please send us the patch and probably we'll include it into our next kernels.

Thank you,
Vasily Averin

Antario,
can you please try these patches from OSDL bugzilla? if they help we'll definetely include them in next official kernel build.
If you are unfamiliar with kernel/patching/building, I can help you to build it though not very quickly Sad feel free to ask!

Dev,

the mandriva patch ( http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=6133&action=view) applied perfectly against an ovz patched 2.6.8 kernel. The System also seems to recognize the sata controller as well as the attached harddisks.

However it immediately panics after starting up the raid which is, i believe, related to some sillyness on my end. Razz

If i can get the box to boot tomorrow i'll get back to you lot within the next few days. Smile

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for testing!
I will include the patch in next kernel if everything is ok. Please, report results of your testing when finished.
