Bug#472878: scsi drives are shown in syslog but their partitions can not be mounted.
Package: installation-reports
I am trying to rescure a machine with
/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy:
boot.img 27-Feb-2008 19:32 1.4M
cd-drives.img 27-Feb-2008 19:33 1.4M
root.img 27-Feb-2008 19:35 1.4M
After loading modules from cd-image, and detecting disks, sym53c8xx and related modules
are installed. /var/log/syslog has records of the 2 scsi drives involved, as well as the expected
partitions. However trying to mount the partitions from a shell gives a `No such device' error.
It could be a kernel issue because I was never able to boot with 2.6.22. 2.6.20 could boot.
Other then that:
1.I seem to remember that there was an F1 Help while the installer asked for the root
image. Yet pressing F1 only gives [[[~', or a similar printing, at the boot prompt.
2. Won't drives.img better describe the contents and usage of cd-drives.img?
