[root@localhost ~]# ls -l /boot |grep init
-rw------- 1 root root 5653907 Feb 8 19:47 initrd-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs.img
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 9 2011 initrd.img -> initrd-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs.img
(BTW, the 40 wire vs 80 wire cable was a dead end, as was using master instead of slave; changed to 80 wire cable, and configured drive as slave (with no master) and the problem remains.)
First we want to cd to the boot directory.
[root@localhost ~]# cd /boot <Enter>
[root@localhost boot]# <-- The prompt changes to show the new locationNext we want to save the existing initrd image, in case something goes wrong with the rebuild.
[root@localhost boot]# mv initrd-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs.img initrd-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs.img-bak <Enter>
Then a check, to see if that was successful.
[root@localhost boot]# ls -l |grep init <Enter>
The link should be broken, and the only initrd image should be
initrd-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs.img-bakNow we rebuild the initrd, loading the
pata_amd module first, followed by the
sata_nv module. Here, I'm just guessing, based on the information from the Magia bug report link. The idea is to get the optical device seen as
/dev/sr0.
[root@localhost boot]# mkinitrd -v --preload pata_amd --preload sata_nv initrd-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs.img 2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs <Enter>
You should see a whole bunch of rolling text as the process progresses. When you are returned to the prompt, the build should be complete.
Again, try the command;
[root@localhost boot]# lsinitrd /boot/initrd.img |grep modprobe <Enter>
You should get a list
similar to the first time the command was entered, except the
first two items in the
list should be
pata_amd and
sata_nv.
Post the results of the last command.
