Lilo and smart array 5i
Hello,
I have a problem to make a boot disk with a RAID 5 (3 physicals disks)
on a Smart Array 5i (a Compaq ML370 G2 with extention) and a debian
potato, 2.4.18 compilled for this (for support of cciss). I also
installed the lilo package from Russell Coker
(http://www.coker.com.au/lilo) (before, lilo said sorry, don't know how
to handle ...).
lilo.conf (by head) :
lba32
disk=/dev/cciss/c0d0 # without thsi, lilo said that /dev/cciss/c0d0
isn't
bios=0x81 # my 1st disk
boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0
root=/dev/hda2 # I must use an IDE disk for make the installation
# When I cant make /dev/cciss/c0d0 bootable, I create boot/root
floppy
# and install the system on it.
image=/vmlinuz
...
(/dev/cciss/c0d0 : major : 104, minor : 0 in mode "b").
By add the 2 lines disk and bios, I don't have the message that
/dev/cciss/c0d0 isn't my 1st disk.
I test with /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, 1st partition, bootable of 50Mo.
lilo -v3 show no error.
On the RAID, I only have 3 disks in RAID 5, only 1 logical disk. On the
IDE, I have 1 hard drive (/dev/hda) and 1 cdrom (/dev/hdb).
The boot order in bios :
1 boot : smart array 5i
2 boot : IDE
3 boot : Channel 1 smart array 5i
4 boot : Channel 2 smart array 5i
Unfortunaly, I have a lot of "01 01 01" on boot. The lilo documentation
tell about this when the disk isn't the first.
Some help is welcome !
