Hello,
I hope you can shed a light to my problem. The server
works just fine with a single SCSI drive.
Unfortunately, when we add the 2nd SCSI drive, the
system does not boot.
VFS: Cannot open root dev "802" or 08:02
Please append correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
We have tried all SCSI ID combinations with no
success. LILO 'append="root=/dev/sda2"' command line
does not work. 802 above is our /dev/sda2 root
partition. We thought Adaptec driver is reshuffling
the drives however 'AIC7XXX=no_reset' LILO command
line does not work either.
I would be forever grateful if someone can offer a
hand.
Many thanks in advance for taking your time.
Jimmy
PS: Sorry if it looks like a cross-post. Server is
running out of disk space and we need to get the 2nd
drive added to the system. My apologies.

You've made sure that your original drive (the IBM) has the lowest ID
number on the bus?

Looks like you put a UW drive (the IBM) on the same u160/lvd channel as a
u160/lvd drive (the Seagate). Should work fine but this is where I would
focus my suspicion.
Note that a UW bus needs to be really, really short. How long is your
cabling end-to-end?
-jwb
Check to make sure the SCSI IDs assigned on the drives (see the jumpers on
each drive) are all unique. 2 drives set with no jumpers to the same ID
(SCSI #0) will not let your system boot...all drives must be unique.

Hello Jim,
Yes, the IDs are unique and in the correct order (9.1
GB IBM drive (boot) at ID:0, 36 GB 15K Cheetah at
ID:1) as I have mentioned in the first mail.
It might also be helpful to note that the following
error shows for both drives before kernel panic:
"parity error detected in Data-in phase"
Redhat 7.1 System with Adaptec Driver compiled into
the kernel.
Thanks,
Jimmy

You've given all the information for the case that works, but no information
about the case that doesn't work.

If this drive remains as ID 6, and your new drive has a lower ID, then
the new drive will become sda, and this one will move to sdb. A possible
solution would be to configure this drive as ID 0, and your new drive
as ID 1.

What whould be really useful is the above message fragment for the case
where it doesn't boot, particularly which drives it's seeing and the
order it's seeing them.

That is because the server is 8000 miles away from me
(other side of the contient) and I am unable to obtain
all the error messages except the kernel panic (last).
FYI, /dev/sda had ID:0 (old drive) and new drive had
ID:1. I have tried all ID configurations but nothing
worked on 2 drive system.

It might also be helpful to note that the following
error shows for both drives before kernel panic:
"parity error detected in Data-in phase"
So, I assume the order of drives are fine. I am
clueless.
Many thanks.

Well, I can see a problem. You say the IBM is ID 0.
The driver says it's ID 6. That means your new drive, as ID1, will become sda.
I think the jumper is wrong on your IBM.
