Hello,
I've been fighting with several 2.2 and 2.4 kernels for a week to get
soft-RAID working on my Alpha. I've tried both 2.2.20-kernel patched
with RAID-patch, and 2.4.18, 2.4.19rc1 and 2.4.19rc1-aa2 patched kernels.
Now i do have normally working 2.4.18 and 2.2.21 kernels for that alpha.
They did compile correctly and does almost everything i do need.
Only missing thing is RAID-support. Actually 2.2.21 was able to use RAID-0
made with raidtools (not raidtools2) but i need to use RAID-1.
The md-driver in 2.2.21 kernel is too old, v0.35... or something and
raidtools2 does require driver v0.90.
What is the problem. I'd like to use 2.4 kernel, because of journaled fs-
support. Kernel 2.2 would be a little bit more stable, so it would be the
another choice but it must be raid-patched.
When i compile 2.4.18, the progress completes successfully. But the md-
driver crashes the machine.
I patched the kernel with patch-2.4.19rc1 and tried again, same thing.
A friend of mine recommended me to use Andrea's patch 2.4.19rc1-aa2,
so i patch it to kernel and tried again.
It doesn't compile. I log everything and put them into files on my web-
server at http://mikrolahti.fi/kernel
# compiler i used #
pleco:/usr/src/2.4.19rc1aa2# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-linux/2.95.4/specs
gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
At first i make mrproper, then i configured kernel by make menuconfig.
Configuration file: http://mikrolahti.fi/kernel/config-2.4.19rc1aa2
then i make dep and while logging, i got an error:
pleco:/usr/src/2.4.19rc1aa2# make dep > /2.4.19rc1aa2.deplog
md5sum: can't open hfc_pci.
Logfile can be found: http://mikrolahti.fi/kernel/2.4.19rc1aa2.deplog
and the kernel compile died soon after beginning:
pleco:/usr/src/2.4.19rc1aa2# make boot > /2.4.19rc1aa2.compile

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
It does compile it almost to the end, but it stops at the error, and i don't
know/understand why it does so.
I also logged the compiling of kernel 2.2.20. I used linux-2.2.20 source, and
i patched it succesfully with raidpatch by patch -p0 < raid-2.2.20-A0.
Then i make mrproper, make menuconfig, make dep and make boot.
Configuration can be found: http://mikrolahti.fi/kernel/config-2.2.20raid
Compilation started as 2.4.19rc1aa2,
pleco:/usr/src/2.2.20raid# make dep > /2.2.20raid.deplog
md5sum: can't open hfc_pci.
logfile can be found: http://mikrolahti.fi/kernel/2.2.20raid.deplog
then make boot, that fails right after beginning...

That was all of it. I really bored with these patches and raid-support. I've
been using Alphas since 1994 and i trust them, but now i'd like to have some
new features to make server a little better =)
I do have 2 alphas, and i've been trying to compile those on both of them,
and also tried the generic-compilation, with same incomplete result.
2.2.21 does compile and work, so does 2.4.18 and 2.4.19rc1 without the patch
but when using softraid (md) it crashes.
With 2.4.19rc1 building /dev/md0 completes succesfully, but when trying to
make filesystem by mke2fs (-j) /dev/md0 it does crash, or trying to mount,
it crashes and jams.
Hardware i used here is:
Alpha PC164LX 533MHz w/2MB cache, 512Mt SDRAM, Compaq 2ch 64-bit U2W-SCSI,
3Com905, Matrox Millennium. The Alpha-firmware is the latest SRM-firmware.
Here is also /var/log/messages from when booted 2.4.19rc1 and started raid:
