[debian-knoppix] Problem with SCSI drives
The system is a dual PIII 933 with an Adaptec 3210S Raid card with five disks
and a hot spare in the RAID. There is an IDE DVD unit on it but no other
disks except for the floppy.
I booted Knoppix to level 2, did su -, then modprobe dpt2_i2o which worked.
I then created a directory /mnt/gentoo and mounted some of the RAID's
parititions (/dev/sda2 to /mnt/gentoo, /dev/sda1 to /mnt/gentoo/boot, and
/dev/sda6 to /mnt/gentoo/usr).
Then I did a chroot
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
Under this chroot I built the Gentoo system. At the end I created a
lilo.conf (see below) and while still in chroot I ran /sbin/lilo (which would
use the one created under the chroot system). LILO is supposed to write to
/dev/sda but when I run /sbin/lilo I get errors like this:
ide-scsi: hda: unsupported comand in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0
ide-scsi: hda: unsupported comand in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 2
ide-scsi: hda: unsupported comand in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 4
ide-scsi: hda: unsupported comand in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 6
Added Gentoo
My question is - where did this hda/ide stuff get into this. My system only
has an IDE DVD - no IDE disks! Also, since I'm chrooted I'm using the LILO
in the chroot tree and it's using the /etc/lilo.conf in that tree which
points to /dev/sda so LILO should try and write to the MBR of /dev/sda
shouldn't it.
Any help would be appreciated. I can't see anything wrong and can't see why
I get the errors above.
Thank you.
Here's lilo.conf
boot=/dev/sda
menu-scheme=Wb
prompt
lba32
timeout=100
default=Gentoo
vga=normal # Normal VGA console
#
# Default image
#
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs_pre6
label=Gentoo
root=/dev/sda2
read-only
#
# Memtest 86
#
image=/boot/memtest86/memtest.bin
label=Memtest86
optional
