Hi,
I just installed Fedora 10 on a 9650SE raid controller with a Raid 1 configuration. The installation was successful. I have not been able to boot yet. Looks like initrd cannot access swap event though it loads 3w-9xxx properly. details follow.
The first boot attempt complained that the resume device did not exist, so i booted into rescue, but none of the partitions were mounted. Then i booted into rescue again, and mounted /, modified fstab by replacing labels, UUIDs, with corresponding partition names.../dev/sda[1-9]. Then i rebooted into rescue and all partitions were mounted and i was able to chroot /mnt/sysimage, and then regenerated initrd so it picks up changes in fstab.
When i try to boot the system again from disk i get the following error.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ sda: Setting up hotplug Creating block device nodes Creating character device nodes Loading 3w-9xxx module Loading shpchp module Unable to access resume device (/dev/sda2) Creating root device mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3, No such file or directory sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
This was my first attempt at installing and booting from a raid controller.
Any thoughts.....??
Thanks. - Ted

Most likely you are hitting mkinitrd bug 466534 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466534

There have been a few similar reports to this in bugzilla. I think mkinitrd isn't waiting long enough for the device to settle before it tries to mount it.

Thanks. adding scsi_wait_scan to initrd fixes the problem.
