Here are a few of my failed installation notes.<br><br>Hardware: SuperMicro Dual Xeon, 4GB Ram, 3 x 36GB 10K U160 SATA drives, Adaptec 2005S RAID controller.<br><br>1. Configured RAID5 set through Adaptec manager (CTRL-A on boot). Let RAID set build to 100%.<br>
2. Rebooted, attempting automatic installation. Froze up. (seemed to want a USB mouse? changed from PS2 to USB mouse).<br>3. Rebooted, attempted 'linux noprobe". Failed, Hard Drives not detected.<br>4.
Searched Adaptec 2005s RAID driver / CentOS compatibility. Found
references to i2o_block module not loaded on installation. <br>
5. Booted with "linux noprobe", ALT-F2, cd /mnt/source/CentOS/<br>6. mkdir /tmp/kernel<br>7. cp kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.<div id=":70" class="ArwC7c ckChnd">i686.rpm /tmp/kernel/<br>8. cd /tmp/kernel<br>9. extract rpm, rpm2cpio kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.i686.rpm | cpio -id<br>
10. cd lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.22.el5/kernel/drivers/message/i2o/<br>11. attempt to load modprobe i2o_core.ko and i2o_block.ko<br>12. (ALT-F3) error "ksign, the modules are signed by an unknown authority"??<br>
13. I'm stumped. <br><br>I'm
stuck here, anyone know what the best way to go about loading these
modules are during installation? (Hopefully beyond making my own kernel
/ installation CD). I did try to install with software RAID, but even
after removing this RAID card it does not detect the drives. <br>
<br>I then put in an Ubuntu 8.04LTS CD and it detects this card without
issue. I dont have a full CentOS5 CD handy to try it.. but reading
online it appears CentOS/RedHat have had piss-poor support for the i2o
(Adaptec 2xxxS) series cards in the past. I was going to migrate away
from Plesk to BlueOnyx.. but perhaps new hardware is needed??<br>
<br>Any thoughts?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Chris<br></div>
