I am using the HPT370 IDE RAID controller with an Epox 8KTA3+ motherboard and I see the following non-fatal errors below when I boot. Everything seems to start up OK, but does anyone here know why I am seeing the -16 and -2 errors? Is it some weird kernel bug, or something that I can fix by editing modules.conf, etc.? How can I get rid of the "trying to unmount root" error?

Thanks for the help!

Are you using a "stock" Redhat v7.1 install? Or have you made modifications to the file system or kernel?

Hi,

The install was a stock install off of the RedHat 7.1 CD. I used the HighPoint boot disk to start the system, and also a driver disk for the HPT370 controller on the Epox board. Then at the end, there was a PostInstall routine that I ran off of the driver disk which I think modified the kernel.

Does that help? Do you know what the problem might be? This is the last issue I have to address with this server. Other than that, it's working perfectly.

Thanks for your help.
