Hi, I am having a problem with a Colgate system on Intel. With a
stock-as-a-rock colgate installation, everything worked fine. The Picasso
system I upgraded from also worked fine with the same sort of organization.
It's a Pentium system with an AHA2940; the hardware is all fine.
After doing the Colgate update, I installed e2fsprogs-1.06-0 (from
tsx-11; this was a reccomended update from the e2fs maintainers).
Everything was still fine.
Yesterday, I went through the litany of updates on the errata page,
and updated them all. Everything was fine, some little problems were
fixed. I was happy until I rebooted for the first time...
On reboot, I get some kind of delay or error that causes the
automatic fsck'ing my SCSI drives (SCSI stuff is all modules) to fail; the
aic7xxx module doesn't finish loading until after fsck fails.
IOW, fsck doesn't appear to wait for kerneld to finish loading the
modules before it tries to look at the filesystem, and then fails when it's
not there yet. Once I've dropped to the emergency prompt, I can find the
SCSI disks; them modules are all loaded by then. Hmm.
I've put insmod [scsi_mod, aic7xxx, and sd_mod] in my rc.sysinit as
an interim measure. I also noticed a message from kerneld (this comes just
before fsck freaks out) telling me that a module called scsi_mod already
existed; so, it appears that it tried to load it twice. Hmm.
Here's some relevant RPM's I've currently got:
SysVinit-2.64-3
initscripts-2.74-1
modules-2.0.0-4
e2fsprogs-1.06-0
Everything on this host is just as I described; 4.0 with kernel
2.0.23, all of the errata updated, and with e2fsprogs-1.06-0. Here's what
my conf.modules looks like (it's always worked, with Picasso and with stock
Colgate):
keep
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3c59x debug=2 options=0,0,0
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias char-major-10-130 softdog
alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
Does anybody know what's up with /sbin/kerneld vs. /sbin/fsck? Has
anybody else seen this, or is it just me? Thanks in advance for any advice
you can offer. >=-)>
regards,
Craig S. Bell
