[rhn-users] RHEL freeze: diskdump: -

[Lazarev, Roman]

The protocol - IDE or SCSI is not the issue, it's the brand of the card and the kernel module associated with it. A special code stub is written and compiled into the module only then diskdump is supported.

I don't quite get your i2o comment, what's that all about? How did you associate the problem with that?

PS: keep the thread in the email, it's easier to refer back...

Hi! I don't really understand, should I need an SCSI partition for diskdump? 
Now we took the whole AIC7899(?) SCSI card out, not to disturb the system. 
It seemed to freeze just because of running from the /dev/i2o... RAID5 
partition, but now it also freezes running from the IDE drive! But at least 
gives some error messages... Could I get the dump on this IDE partition? I'm 
not there in the office now, so can't reinstall the SCSI. Just tomorrow...
