RE: big trouble after apt-get upgrading my HP9000 d360/2
Hello Jürgen,
I just discover udev (while devfs was never investigate on this hppa arch), so
I am far from being an expert but I have a install which look like yours: a
d380/2, excepted that I use soft raid1 for boot, swap, root and raid1+lvm2 for
some more system stuff and even raid5+lvm2 for a data array ;-)

mmm, according to your dmesg the disk driver (ncr53c8xx) is builtin, so you
would have to modprob it and kernel also knows sda: just /dev is not well
populated.
I have a look on my testing d380 and see that:
# ll /dev/sda*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda ->
scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/disc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda1 ->
scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda10 ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda9 ->
scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part9
well for you:
[...]

SCSI device sda: 4165272 512-byte hdwr sectors (2133 MB)
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through

[...]
have a look in /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0
if part[123] and part[56] exist then you could try to create manualy links:
/dev/sda1 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part1
/dev/sda2 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part2
/dev/sda3 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part3
/dev/sda5 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part5
/dev/sda6 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part6
then try to complete the boot (I am not familiar with initramfs, so I have no
clue if Ctrl-D or init 2 will do the drill?)
If that works, updating udev would also rebuild an initrd.
That said, even thought you have a 2-way system, I would advise you to install
and use temporarely a up kernel (right now there are still an issue with
udev-0.084-5 for hppa smp which, tx to Kyle, would be soon fixed).
Hth,
Joel
