Unable to boot redhat linux (ver-5). The last line or the error are as: mounting root filesystem. JBD: Clearing recovery information on journel. hdc:irq time out :status=0xd0 {busy}.

Please suggest

Hi kparhi and welcome to LQ.

Is this RHEL version 5? Please note that this version just went end of life this year and is on extended support.

Is this a licensed system? If so, then perhaps RedHat themselves are best capable to help you with a solution that fits correctly within their architecture.

Are you seeing a prompt?

Note that a possible solution actually shows up using a web search of your string, "hdc:irq time out :status=0xd0 {busy}", and it brings you to RedHat's support site. The problem is a person needs to log in to be able to view the solution.

Other search results seem to indicate that you have a hardware fault either in the drive itself or in the hardware leading to the drive, such as the controller.

" Yes the version 5.No prompt"

RH5 or RHEL 5.11 ( or 5 point WHAT)

rh5 is from 1997
and rhel5 is at end of life

also this is redhat so did you BUY the required support contract ?
that gets you help from redhat
you are paying for it you might want to use that support
