Summary | 0000208: Error during installation of EFW 2.1.1 | ||||||||
Description | During installation of EFW 2.1.1, I get the following error : "Error reading target device", so I cannot select any hard disk to finish the installation. My hardware is the following : Dell PowerEdge SC430 with CELERON D 326, 2.53GHZ, 512MB SINGLE RANK 533MHZ ECC MEMORY. I tried with one SATA HARD DRIVE and with 2 IDENTICAL SATA HARD DRIVES. Both do not work. I guess that it cannot detect the SATA hard disks. This harware works perfectly with EFW 2.0 and do not work with EFW 2.1 (kernel panick during boot) | ||||||||

We have a Dell PE 830, Pentium D with SATA and 1 disc. With EFW 2.0 and 2.1 all was fine. The installation of EFW 2.1.1 failed with the same “ERROR reading target_device”. Our solution: At the begin of the installation (ex. on language choose) we change in the shell (ALT+F3). We are missing the two kernel modules libata and ata_piix (cat /proc/modules). For coping the modules on the RAM-disk of the installation environment we have installed a second EFW on a old PC. On this old PC we have installed the smp-kernel to have the same kernel (from the EFW-CD/rpms) on the harddisk: rpm -ivh –force –nodeps kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.EL.endian19.i386.rpm Now we copy the two modules on a web server. We made it with an usb stick: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.EL.endian19-smp/kernel/drivers/ata/libata.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.EL.endian19-smp/kernel/drivers/ata/ata_piix.ko.gz OK. Now we have configured the network interface on the shell of ore Dell firewall server: ifconfig eth2 192.168.3.10 up You must select the right device (eth0 or eth1 or ...). Now we have copied the two files from the web server on our Dell in a typical directory of the kernel: cd /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.EL.endian19-smp/kernel/drivers wget -c http://192.168.3.3/ibata.ko.gz [^] wget -c http://192.168.3.3/ata_piix.ko.gz [^] Now we add the line (one line!!!) in the /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.EL.endian19-smp/modules.dep: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.EL.endian19-smp/kernel/drivers/ata_piix.ko.gz: /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.EL.endian19-smp/kernel/drivers/libata.ko.gz now we have made modprobe ata_piix and we have completed the installation. When you have problems with other hardware or other modules you can made the same thing with your missing modules Endian FireWall Rocks! Karl and Jürgen |
