Hi all,
Trying to get my Intel SATA RAID Container working with the latest
kernel.
In runlevel 1, if I do a mkinitrd I get the error message:
device-mapper: deps ioctl failed: No such device or address
_deps: task run failed for (253:0)
Not sure what to do?
Thanks for any advice. Hadders
Hmmm, got cunning and loaded the 2.6.18-1.2239smp kernel into my PATA
hard disk. Then loaded up and noticed that device-mapper was at version
4.7 (previously 4.5) in the base kernel.
Did the dmraid -a n && dmraid -a y to unload/load it. And it stopped
complaining.
Then edited my fstab and made the root and boot mappings point to my
/dev/mapper devices and built an initrd. Then copied that over to the
raid boot and tried to load with it. Didn't complain any more but still
couldn't find root.
Just wondering if I can load the 2.6.18 kernel off my ATA drive and then
"swap" root directories out from under it, would that effect the make
initrd? effectively remounting root and then rebuilding initrd?
Thanks
