RHEL 4 on PowerEdge 1950 - megaraid_sas boot problem

[Jesse Aiton]

Hello,



I currently have RHEL 4 running on a PE 1950 with a PERC 5/i card.  The root partition is an LVM volume.



I needed to install a new kernel, so I compiled 2.6.16 with the following options:

 * Device mapper support compiled into the kernel
 * megaraid_sas driver compiled into the kenrel
 * ext3 support compiled into the kernel
 * selinux disabled
 * grub looks good

When I boot into the new kernel, I get this boot error:

> > reading all physical volumes.  this may take a while
> > umount /sys failed: 16
> > file descriptor3 left open
> > mount: error 6 mounting ext3
> > mount: error 2 mounting none
> > switchroot: mount failed: 22
> > umount /initrd/dev failed: 22
> > kernel panic - not syncing
> > attempting to kill init

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jesse
