mark105hi im trying to get ubuntu running on a proliant 800 that has a smart array 3200 in it04:09
mark105ive got it all installed04:09
infinityAnd on reboot, it doesn't work, because cpqarray isn't in the initramfs, right?04:09
mark105something like that04:09
mark105no wait04:10
mark105grub loads, it loads the kernel04:10
infinityYes...04:10
mark105but then it says my raid drive doesnt exist04:10
infinityAnd then you can't find the root filesystem.04:10
infinityYes, see above.04:10
mark105yup04:10
infinityIs this breezy or dapper?04:10
mark105breezy04:10
infinityIf dapper, I'll have a fix for you in the next initramfs upload.04:11
mark1055.1004:11
infinityIf breezy, you'll need to 'echo cpqarray > /etc/mkinitramfs/modules' && dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-[whatever] 04:11
infinityShould be able to mount it from the recovery console on the install CD to mangle it like so.04:12
mark105ok04:12
mark105cpqarray is a binary?04:13
mark105i havent got far enough to know yet04:13
infinitycpqarray is a kernel module for your array.04:14
infinity /etc/mkinitramfs/modules is a file that says "add these extra modules to my initramfs, please!"04:15
mark105ahh right04:16
infinity(And dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r` will re-run the linux-image postinst which will, among other things, regenerate your initramfs image for that kernel package)04:17
mark105cheers dude04:18
mark105now i just need to find the recovery console04:18
mark105this isnt working04:25
infinityYou have your target system mounted... Where?04:26
infinityAs /target?04:26
mark105wont mount04:30
mark105loading ubuntu live cd now04:31
mark105have no idea where to find recovery console04:31
