Re: kernel 2.6.10 upgrade and ide drives go missing



I'm not really sure how to examine the an initrd image, I think you want my to mount it and look to see what modules are on it. I did notice I had a directory /initrd but it didn't contain any files.?? abnormal?

I'll search for mounting initrd files.

The Debian installer recognizes all of the drives, lets me partition
them, set up mounts, etc... but when booting it's as though the ide is
not there.

Adding 'ide-detect' to /etc/modules (along with 'ide-disk' and
'ide-generic', though I haven't tested to see what is the minimal
requirement) resolves this.

Since my scsi/ide drive combo has not been an issue in other flavors of
Linux, and given the 'testing' nature of Sarge, I'd chalk this up as an
oversight in the installer.

If anyone lurking would care to provide me with a pointer to a HOWTO
search for and file bugs, I'd be glad to add this to the TODO list.




  I am not sure the installer is in fault. Assuming you are using an
initrd in the boot process, I would start by examining it. Try building
the initrd with the option that keeps the initrd build environment. Then
check whether the ide modules you mentioned, as well as any other ide related module that is required is actually included.

Subject: kernel 2.6.10 upgrade and ide drives go missing

After doing an update from debian unsable all my ide drives went

missing.

I rebooted and all my ide drives were missing and didn't get detected.
Luckily, my root partition is on a Silicon RAID bus controller and

that

was loaded.

When I manually loaded ide_generic and ide_disk, it loaded my cdrom,

dvd

drive and my 2 other ide drives.  Before the update, these modules

were

getting loaded automatically.  Anyone know of any issues with the new
kernel?  Some information provided below.
