Hi,

so i have upgraded a system to kernel 2.6.24. After that, it failed to boot with the usual message telling, that the rootfs on device /dev/sda1 cannot be mounted (a raid1 run by the controller below).

With 2.6.23.12, everything is working fine.

# lspci -v:

# cat /boot/config-2.6.24 |grep GDT

CONFIG_SCSI_GDTH=y




Any ideas?

http://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv2.6%2Fpatch-2.6.24.bz2 show huge drivers/scsi/gdth* related changes.

Can't test at the moment. System went production.

Sven
