Slackware 10.0 Recompile problem?

In your /usr/src/linux/.config file what does it say for the low level drivers?

# SCSI low-level drivers
#
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_3W_XXXX_RAID is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_7000FASST is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_ACARD is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1740 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_IN2000 is not set

Under SCSI low level drivers the options that are uncommented are:

CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX=Y
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS=4
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS=32
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC=20

From the description of raid.s :

raid.s This is a bootdisk with support for some hardware SCSI
and ATA RAID controllers. The install disks now have
preliminary support for these controllers as well. The
drivers included are:
AMI MegaRAID 418, 428, 438, 466, 762, 490
and 467 SCSI host adapters.
Compaq Smart Array controllers.
Compaq Smart Array 5xxx controllers.
IBM ServeRAID hardware RAID controllers.
LSI Logic Fusion(TM) MPT devices (not really RAID, but
added since there was room for this driver here)
Mylex DAC960, AcceleRAID, and eXtremeRAID controllers.
Many of these controllers will require some degree of
do-it-yourself setup before and/or after installation.

So configure your kernel with all modules mentioned and maybe later (after boot success) try
to reconfigure the kernel without uneeded modules

With all your help I have found the problem. Thanks Mako747 for that last post which sent me in the right direction.

The problem was the SCSI low level drivers, Megaraid was not selected. I have recompiled with Megaraid and now booting fine!!!! Thanks to all of you for your help!

Excellent!

Enjoy.

Are you sure you compiled in all the right drivers? I just compiled a 2.6.9 kernel for a Poweredge 2600 wih the PERC 4/Di controller (though I'm not using hardware raid). My kernel .config file includes

Code:

#
# Fusion MPT device support
#
CONFIG_FUSION=y
CONFIG_FUSION_MAX_SGE=40
CONFIG_FUSION_CTL=m

[edit]
Whoops. I see you already fixed it. Never mind.
