Kernel panic 2004-11-29 - By Shaun T. Erickson
Back
Hello,
I recently bought a Dell 2650, with a split 2+3 backplane (2 36GB
drives, mirrored, as system drives, and 3 146GB drives, RAID-5, as data
drives). It came with RHEL ES 2.1, but I downloaded and did a test
install, taking the defaults, of RHEL ES 3.0 update 3, which went fine.
I just went to do the 'for real ' install, and everything went fine,
until the reboot after install, when the kernel panic 'd. The only thing
I did, that was substantially different from a default install, was that
I partitioned the system differently, and I chose the "minimal " package
set only (figuring I 'd add what I needed later, as I needed it). Some of
the panic scrolled off the screen, but the last parts of it mention the
aacraid driver that it was trying to insmod. I don 't know how to
troubleshoot a kernel panic, so I 'm not sure if it didn 't find the
driver, or it found it but puked trying to load it, or if the driver
itself puked for some reason.
There 's a lot to write down, then type in here, so before I do that, I
thought I 'd ask if anyone recognizes this issue and can suggest what to
do. If you need me to send the details of the panic, I can follow up
with it. I 'm wondering if something that gets loaded during a default
install didn 't get loaded with a minimal install, that it needs, but one
would think if it were critical, either load would include it ...
Thanks, in advance, for your help and suggestions.
