fstab processed before sda exists
HI
this is my first debian install. (actually i tried it years ago, but was to impatient to figure out how to make it work) Sid is working great so far. Just a problem mounting '/dev/sda?' i have two main data partitions: /dev/hda6 /home reiserfs defaults 0 2 /dev/sda6 /home/data reiserfs defaults 0 2 (/dev/sda is an SATA drive. promise drivers.) when fstab gets processed during boot i get an error saying /dev/sda6 does not exist if i set the mount to 0 0 , it doesn't hold the system on boot of course, but it still doesn't get mounted. mount will process the line in fstab fine after boot. |
Maybe you need to load the sata driver from ramdisk, so it will be available when fstab is read.

I ran into this problem myself with a SATA RAID machine I have. My solution, which is not really the best solution (the RAMdisk is probably the best method, or compiling the driver for the SATA chipset into the kernel), was to create a script in /etc/init.d and have it run after everything else does.
|
how do i load the driver into ramdisk?
|
I am not sure on Debian. Usually you run mkinitrd -m <module> to include the specified module into initrd.
