Hi, I’ve recently acquired some Dell PowerEdge 2950
servers. I loaded Fedora Core 6 on them fine, did a yum update and much
to my surprise the box kernel panics on boot. I haven’t loaded
anything else on the box, other than a stock OS. I did some investigation and determined the issue only
occurs with the latest (2.6.22.1-32) kernel. It did not occur with 2.6.20
or 2.6.18. It seems that the drivers for the Perc 5i controller (megaraid_sas)
is seeing through the BIOS of the controller and showing all 6 disks rather
than one logical volume. Since the volume is actually RAID 10, it cannot
mount the root filesystem. This problem seem very similar to one detailed in an older
kernel on the Ubuntu bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/55138 I also noticed that the bug has a patch applied in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/57265 Is this issue known in the Fedora world? What do you
suggest I do to resolve it? Is this the appropriate list for this, or is
there another one that would be more pertinent? Why would the Ubuntu
patch not be also applied to the FC6 kernel, wouldn’t it have patched the
kernel.org kernel and shouldn’t it have made its way over to Fedora? Or,
could this be a new issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -- Daniel Jabbour Network / Sytems Engineer Intronis Technologies Email: djabbour at intronis.com www.intronis.com |
