Hello,
I searched the archives, but some files are not found.
Anyway, i found some others where you explained some things.
I could boot with the linux rescue cd and mount my /dev/sda1
I changed the bootlogd to YES but nothing is ever logged because the
system can never connect to SDA1, so how could it ever write something
to it ?
You also say in a message with such a fault that probably the right
modules are not loaded?
But how is that possible if the installation recognized the disk and
wrote all the files and everything and succesfully completed the
installation ?
Thanks.
Verus.

i have a new poweredge 1950 with an embedded dell perc 5/i raid
controller There are 2 disks in it of 72GB and are configured as RAID
1.
I perform a new installation with the debian testing netcd.
Everything goes well, netcard is found, DELL Perc is also found.
When partioning the HDD in the installation menu, these are the
SCSI3 (2,0,0) (SDA) -72.7 GB DELL PERC 5/i
i partition the harddisk, continue the installation and install GRUB
at the master boot record.
I reboot after the installation, the GRUB menu is shown and the system
boots.same.
Then after a while i get:
ALERT!: /DEV/SDA1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-2) Built-in shell (ash) enter 'help'
for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off.
I also tried in raid 0 without the second disk but it remains theIt seems that the installation sees SDA1 but it is nog recognized
after installation.
Can anybody help with this problem please ?
thnx,
Verus.
Verus,
Do you have any ATA hard disks or USB disk devices (including memory
drives) attached to the system?
If so, I think you're seeing a difference in how the BIOS scans disk
devices, versus the kernel.
If this is the case, I've made several posts on this subject in the past
that provide details on how to set up LABEL based booting/mounting of
the system. Search the archives for any posts by me, one with the
subject "Recent upgrade causes drive lettering scheme to alternate from
hda to hde" and two with the subject "Debian AMD64 boots only at random:
how to use labels/fstab/grub"

I just searched on http://lists.debian.org/search.html for AMD64, the October-December date, and got 13 hits. None had any content, returning the error:
Not Found
The requested URL //srv/-srv07/msg00116.html was not found on this
server."
There were 20 hits for AMD64 in the July-September quarter. Again, all 20 links generate the above error.
And, when I searched for 'Debian amd64 boots', a subset of the subject of one of the messages I referred Verus to, it did not find those posts at all, in either of the two quarters in which I sent them, though it did return the response I made to Verus question in which I referred to the posts.
I don't expect that this is normal behavior, but then, I'm also not familiar with the code that maintains the list archives, so maybe there are delays or issues I'm not aware of.
Bob
