Upgrade RH6.1 to RH6.2, locks on module load

Upgrade RH6.1 to RH6.2, locks on module load

Post by Dav » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



All,

I have an adaptec 2940U controller in my machine (never different).  I
upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2 and now it tries to load the advansys
module...  AND HANGS.  I can boot from the floppy it allowed me to
create during the upgrade, but not the HDD.

Any ideas?

 
 
 

Upgrade RH6.1 to RH6.2, locks on module load

The stock RH6.2 kernel has support for the adaptec driver as a module.  Did
the upgrade modify your /etc/conf.modules file?  Is the driver module in
/lib/modules/2.2.xx/scsi?

I take it you have a SCSI hard disk.  You probably need to rerun mkinitrd to
make a new initrd.img.
  mkinitrd initrd-2.2.15.img 2.2.15
  ln -sf initrd-2.2.15.img initrd.img

Then rerun lilo (check your /etc/lilo.conf file..) and reboot.

1. Workaround for RH6.0 - RH6.1 Upgrade Problem

    During an upgrade, it seems that the RH6.1 boot and bootnet install
diskettes are attempting to mount NTFS partitions as ext2 and then crashing.

    My workaround for this problem was to use partitioning software to
temporarily hide any NTFS partitions, do the install and then unhide these
partitions.

    I used Partition Magic but I believe there are other programs which can
hide and unhide partitions.
