VFS: Cannot open root device
Hi,
A client just had a array controller failure in their hp dl380 (integrated controller - smart array 5i - i think), running Suse Linux 7.2. They added a new smart array 641 controller. But now when we boot up we get the following:
It tries to load the cciss module but it seem to fail.
....
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Loading Module CCISS ...
using /lib/moduels/2.4.4-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o
Compaq CISS driver (v 2.4.5)
/lib/moduels/2.4.4-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can b caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
kmod: Failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-104, errno = 2
VFS: cannot open root device "6803" or 68:03
The client booted using ubuntu live cd and they could see the disks. I mounted the partitions and can get to the data, but we cannot boot into linux.
Any help will be much appricated.
It seems as if the array controller driver is messing things up. Do we need to update drivers? if so any ideas on how I can do this without being able to boot into it.
Thanks
