[rhn-users] qlogic 2300 attached luns not enabled with 2.4.21-32.EL

Tue May 24 21:27:59 UTC 2005

Thanks Raj.  

I used the qlogic "scli" command that enables all the luns (I'm not
sure what it does at OS level), but after I enabled with scli, I did 
a modprobe -r and then a modprobe qla2300 and then I could mount the
luns.  However, it would loose the config on a reboot.

So, I did the above and created a new initrd:

[root at pecan qlogic]# cat /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 e1000
alias eth2 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300
alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300_conf
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

with this command:

mkinitrd initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.qlogic.img 2.4.21-32.EL

and booted this entry of grub:

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-32.EL.qlogic)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-32.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.qlogic.img

As is I get:

[root at pecan qlogic]# mount /dev/sda1 /db01
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

...

Looks like you are right, I don't have to do the scli thing, I
just modprobe and the devices are ready:

[root at pecan qlogic]# modprobe -r qla2300
[root at pecan qlogic]# modprobe qla2300
[root at pecan qlogic]# mount /dev/sda1 /db01

Not sure what you mean about "mount the initrd image using option -oloop."
Is that on the boot loader command line?  Example, please.
I wanted to check to see if I was getting the right ram disk, but didn't
know how.
