Welcome to all!
Since last Saturday my Ubuntu 5.10 on SATA raid 1 is not booting (kernel
panic). I tried to install boot-loader (lilo) . It looks to me as
something very hard to do. Please help.
To bot my machine I use Ubuntu Live 5.10 cd. The following lines show
what I am trying to do.
What I've been doing since Ubuntu Live ends its booting process:
$ sudo su
# cd /mnt
# mkdir dev proc boot sys
# mount -v -t ext3 /dev/PV/root /mnt
# mount -v -t ext3 /dev/PV/boot /mnt/boot
# mount -v -t proc none /mnt/proc
# mount -v -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
# mount -v --bind /dev /mnt/dev
# chroot /mnt /bin/bash
# update-initramfs -v -c -k 2.6.12-10-386
# /sbin/lilo
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/mapper/casper-cow'
Fatal: is_primary: Not a valid device: 0xFE07
---------------------------------------------------------
That is how the problem looks like...
---------------------------------------------------------
My /dev/mapper directory:
+ PV-boot 254,2
+ PV-home 254,5
+ PV-root 254,4
+ PV-swap 254,3
+ PV-zasoby 254,6
+ casper-cow 254,0
+ casper-snapshot 254,1
- control
---------------------------------------------------------
My lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/md0
root = /dev/mapper/PV-root
raid-extra-boot = mbr
map = /boot/map
delay = 20
default = Linux
image = /vmlinuz
initrd = /initrd.img
label = Linux
read-only
---------------------------------------------------------
That is all. Any clues???
Kind regards,
Maciej (mslonik)
