SATA RAID MV88SX6041 on Sarge 3.1r0a Problem
Hi list,
I tried to install Sarge 3.1r0a AMD64 on a Supermicro server with
Marvell SATA RAID MV88SX6041 controller.
Because Sarge Installer CD could not recognize the controller I used a
temporary IDE disk to compile and got the driver
(ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/drivers/linux/marvell/mvsata340.zip)
I followed the instruction in
http://www.deesconsulting.com/howtos/marvell-sarge.txt
Now I can install Sarge to my SATA disks (I still get warning message:
"mv_sata : no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted"
actually, but Sarge can recognize my disks now).
Installation process ran normal; When the installer finished and told me
to reboot, I made initrd image first:
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8
But I got the following error:
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module mvSata not found
WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!
but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into
the kernel
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
I edited /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and added:
alias scsi_hostadapter mv_sata
alias mvSata mv_sata
and remade initrd, but I still got some warning messages:
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
dpkg : warning, architectur 'amd64' no ini remapping table
I finished installation and reboot.
And server still can't boot to my new Sarge:
Thanks for any help.
