Dear All. Happy 2007 everyone! Has anyone successfully run OpenSSI 1.9.2 on a hardware with a SATA HDD? I have succesfully installed the OpenSSI but once I reboot the system, it halts with the following messages mkrootdev: uuid .... not found mount special device /dev/root does not exist ERROR: mounting root file system failed. Unable to continue. halting. RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/devinet.c (944) RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/devinet.c (944) RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/igmp.c (1220) RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/igmp.c (1193) RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv6/addrconf.c (1977) System halted. It looks like the ata_piix.ko module included in the OpenSSI kernel package is quite old. (in comparison to the one found in the orignal OS - CentOS 4.4with kernel 2.6.9) I tried recompiling the module with newer driver sources, but it hasn't been successful. There simply are too many files that I have to change, and I am no expert at tuning H/W drivers... If someone is running OpenSSI on a SATA HDD, are there anything special you have done? Any tips and advices will be appreciated! Thank you in advance, Taeho |

Taeho, Quite a few times on number of different boxes. Does the machine you are installing on boot with just the OS installed boot? Once you get the OS installed could run a: # lspci -Karl On 1/1/07, Taeho Kang <tk...@gm...> wrote: > > Dear All. > > Happy 2007 everyone! > > Has anyone successfully run OpenSSI 1.9.2 on a hardware with a SATA HDD? > > I have succesfully installed the OpenSSI but once I reboot the system, it > halts with the following messages > > mkrootdev: uuid .... not found > mount special device /dev/root does not exist > ERROR: mounting root file system failed. > Unable to continue. halting. > RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/devinet.c (944) > RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/devinet.c (944) > RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/igmp.c (1220) > RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv4/igmp.c (1193) > RTNL: asserting failed at net/ipv6/addrconf.c (1977) > System halted. > > It looks like the ata_piix.ko module included in the OpenSSI kernel > package is quite old.

Dear Karl: Thank you for your reply, first of all. I installed CentOS 4.4 and when I choose to load the regular non-SSI kernel (CentOS 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9), everything is fine. When I choose to boot SSI-kerenel, that's when I have problems. I've had similar problems with a machine with a e100 NIC driver, but once I compiled and installed newer NIC driver module and created a new SSI-kernel image, I could load the SSI-kernel with no problems. "lspci" on that machine (with the non-SSI kernel loaded) gave me the followings. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 945G/GZ/P/PL Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 945G/GZ/P/PL Express PCI Express Root Port (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1) 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR (ICH7 Family) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01) 04:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
