Bad luck in debian4.0r1

The unfortunate experience in debian4.0r1-the Linux Release Technology-Debian information. The following is a detailed description. We have a better understanding of debian4.0r1. Raid was unavailable after the previous restart because the mdadm soft raid module was loaded earlier than the raid card driver, and the network could not find a way to change the order: it was not to change the/etc/modules file. Instead, change/etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add the modules to be loaded in order. Change

Hptmv6

Sd_mod

Md_mod

Raid456

Then update-initramfs-t-u-k 2.6.22 to change/boot/initrd. img-2.6.22. The soft raid can be started directly after it is finally started. Among them, sd_mod is what I later found to be added in front of md_mod, because if not added, seven disks on the raid card can be recognized by mdadm, and the hard disk of the sata port on the motherboard is not recognized.

PCI-X version of the rocket raid2220 array card, the latest v1.08 driver, not with the latest linux-2.6.23.1 kernel, can only use 2.6.22 kernel. This problem is that I have compiled the kernel for four hours. Every time a patch fails, I have to go to the rocket website, it was found that the latest driver in change-log solved the compilation error in the 2.6.22 kernel, so it was solved by downloading the 2.6.22 kernel.

After the raid card driver is compiled into the kernel, the disk of the first mounted system on the onboard sata is not/dev/sda by default, after startup, it will become another drive letter, which has a great impact on startup. You can only compile the RAID card driver into a module, so that the drive letter will not be messy. So it took nearly two hours.
