Title: raid1 recovery problem with sme7b5
Post by: femc on October 29, 2005, 05:50:16 PM

sme7b5 installed fine on a raid1 sata system. Now i tested a disk failure by disconnecting 1 sata controller cable - results :

1) when booting the box hangs on 'grub:'. what are the commands to enter to make it boot ?

2) created with mkbootdisk a boot rescue floppy - same problems - cannot find a suitable command line to boot linux. 'vmlinuz' does not work

If i cannot make the box boot with 1 failed drive raid1 makes no sense - right ? what commands to enter, and how to make the box boot on 1 drive ? 2nd step would be a raid recovery - first step first.

This is a bug. It has been fixed and I believe is just waiting for the next beta to be released.

Go to the bug list and search for the raid bugs. There did seem to be a fix listed, but I don't know if it is anything that can be easily applied

femc,

(just 4 U)
(login to your SME via ssh)
(copy & paste the stuff below)

Code: [Select]

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/e-smith/devel/repo/RPMS/e-smith-grub-0.0.1-17.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh e-smith-grub-0.0.1-17*


Try to search in the "/e-smith/devel/repo/" 's and mirrors for example located at:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/e-smith/devel/repo/RPMS/
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/e-smith/devel/repo/RPMS/

In general it's a bad idea to use "full-filename" search
...especially if you tend to mis-spell or omit noarch and stuff ;-)

Reinhold
