Gentoo Install Grub Raid
Yeri Tiete wrote: Dear, I have Sata builtin (You need gentoo livecd 2004.3 to install on Sata hdd's). I followed this forum howto to set it up: I have no real idea why he tells you that error. Are you 100% sure Grub and/or /etc/raidtab is correct? This is my grub.conf: # Grub config timeout 3 default 0 fallback 1 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz # # Booting Gentoo Linux # title Rootspirit root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/md3 # But please note that with this config Grub only boots from hda, and not from hdb! This is my /etc/raidtab: # /boot (RAID 1) raiddev /dev/md1 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sda1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdb1 raid-disk 1 # /var (RAID 1) raiddev /dev/md2 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sda3 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdb3 raid-disk 1 # / (RAID 1) raiddev /dev/md3 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sda4 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdb4 raid-disk 1 I hope I might helped a bit. Good luck and kind regards, Yeri On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 10:20:59 +1100 (EST), Devraj Mukherjee wrote: Hi Yeri, It seems to me like you have managed to get software RAID and Gentoo happening on your server. I am trying to setup something similar has have failed miserably about four times now.
Everything goes well and as instructed, except when I boot it gives me a message informing me that its unable to find my device md2. All partitions are set right etc, but raid does not detect the parts. Does SATA support have to be compiled into the kernel separetely?
Chroot to Gentoo env. Cd /usr/src/linux make && make modules_install make install Grub2 stuff. Check result in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and compare raid device id. Gentoo installation with raid, lvm. This blog post will document my new fresh Gentoo install from within my currently running system. Fruity Loops Vst S.
