I have submitted this same issue to Novell support (After figuring out their
very poorly designed service request form).
Perhaps someone on the list has a suggestion as well ?
SLES-9 SP3 32 bit
Server:
Dell 2850
Perc 4/Di controller - Single Raid 1 Partition
Dual Xeon 3.4
4GB Ram
Install, standard install.
Partitions:
/dev/sda1 - 100Meg ext2 /boot
/dev/sda2 - 2GB SWAP
/dev/sda3 - 5 GB /
Install went just fine, after package load, system reboots. On reboot, console
displays:
Loading kernal/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
waiting for device /dev/sda3 ro appear: ....not found -- device nodes:
long list of device nodes (tty's,pty's, etc)
No root device found: exiting to /bin/sh
I can boot via rescue disk, and easily mount /dev/sda3 to /mnt and /dev/sda1
to /mnt/boot.
I have chrooted in the rescue mode to /mnt and ran yast to apply all latest
patches (including kernel). This did not help the configuration.
I have gone into the bios and changed all disk and boot settings a number of
different formats, this did not help either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ron
