Comments/Problems:
Everything works fine, until the first reboot. I first used expert26 to
install using the 2.6.8 kernel. After rebooting, the system hangs with
these last words:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCSI subsystem initialized
HP CISS Driver (v 2.6.2)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:01.0[A] -> GSI 24 (level, low) -> IRQ 201
cciss: using DAC cycles
Using anticipatory io scheduler
block= 142253280 block_size= 512
heads= 255, sectors= 32, cylinders= 17433
/dev/cciss/host0/target0: p1 p2 p3 < p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 >
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I re-did the Installer with 'expert' instead of 'expert26' and the
2.4.27 kernel just boots fine. So I have a working system to repair
things from the inside when necessary...
I read this at http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerBrokenThings:
"linux26 after boot ( pivot_root No such file or dir. /sbin/init: 426
cannot open dev/console : no such file) Kernel panic.! (3ware sata-raid)
[Note: you can fix this by chroot into /target, edit
/etc/mkinitrd/modules and add 3w_9xxx, and re-run mkinitrd]"
So... I got an CCISS SCSI System and it seems to have the same problem,
but only using an 2.6 kernel. But the solution mentioned is to add
modules to initrd. The output from the 2.6 bootup shows that the CCISS
driver is being loaded, the partitions can be found, but nevertheless
there is some error I don't understand. So I don't know what to do or
where to start.
Here's some information from dmesg when starting with the 2.4 kernel:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00

Adding Swap: 975112k swap-space (priority -1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I have the box running and apt-get install the 2.6 kernel, the same
problem exists when I try to boot that one.
I'd like to now if there are other people working with Debian on HP
Proliant DL360 G4 or similar servers or get in touch, because it's not
supported by HP.
