Mount Issue on Dell R420

Bashed · 04-13-2017, 03:00 PM

Please see attached. New (refurbished technically) Dell R420, plus 4 x 8TB brand new SATA drives as well. Anytime I try to boot off virtual media (Rockstor NAS software), I get this issue. Anyone have an idea what it might be?

It *does* have a hardware RAID controller which I've already set up and initialized.

I'd seen this some time ago on RHEL5 on a couple of Dell servers. When I looked online I found this appears to be a known issue with a certain driver and can be ignored.

One bugzilla found for it at Redhat then was:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=583782
That says in part:

Quote:

This is known behavior of the i8042 driver -- it outputs a loud warning when no i8042.c device has been found. It is still this way upstream FWIW so I'm not inclined to change the default behavior.

The bug was closed with status "WONTFIX".

Upshot is I always ignore it.

The "megasas" messages are just telling you it loaded/configured that driver which is the one used for the Dell SAS raid controller (as opposed to megaraid which was jused for the older Dell PERC controllers). These controllers by the way are OEMed from LSI (which is now Avago).

The problem I cannot install Rockstor, it keeps rebooting.

Sorry I'm not familiar with RockStor. I just wanted to comment on what is in your screen shot to let you know that is not an error in and of itself.

Is this screenshot from the physical R420 or a virtual you put on top of it? Had you already setup RAID on the R420 before installing Rockstor?
