I am trying to build a bootable 2.6 kernel for a Dell 8300,
which has both the onboard ICH5 SATA controller and a PCI
Promise S150 SATA controller. Two drives are connected to
the Promise card, configured for mirroring. I've installed
RH9, using the proprietary driver from Promise.
I've been working with 2.6.0-test7. I apply the test7-bk2 patch,
followed by the test7-bk2-libata patch. This is followed by the standard
make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install.
Note that I have to comment out scsi_hostadapter in /etc/modules.conf
in order for the mkinitrd to succeed during "make install".
I can't seem to get a kernel and initrd combination built
that will boot. I have seen a variety of boot problems,
but they usually seem to be related to a failure trying
to mount the root file system. For instance, the boot
gives the error "error 6 mounting ext3" when trying to
mount the root filesystem. Pivotroot then fails after this.
I've tried several permutations on having the serial ata built-in,
versus a module, with varying but always negative results.
Perhaps there is a key step that I am not aware of? Does
my procedure sound correct?
Thanks,
Charlie
