Solution:
Update
the
root
partition
in
the
elilo.conf
file
after
moving
or
installing
hard
disk
drives
or
changing
the
scalable
partition.
For
example:
Edit
fs
x
:\efi\SuSE\elilo.conf
where
x
is
the
EFI
file
system
number
containing
the
Linux
loader.
Locate
all
lines
that
start
with
root=\dev
and
change
all
occurrences
to
root=\dev\sd
xy
where
x
is
the
drive
letter
and
y
is
the
partition
number.
Alternatively,
change
the
lines
to
root=xyy
where
x
is
the
major
device
number
and
yy
is
the
minor
device
number.
SLES8
identifies
nonexistent
DVD/CD-RW
drives
Description:
When
two
DVD/CD-RW
drives
are
installed
in
the
xSeries
455
server,
SLES8
assigns
a
logical
unit
number
(LUN)
to
multiple
nonexistent
drives.
However,
SLES8
configures
only
the
two
installed
drives.
Solution:
This
problem
does
not
occur
with
the
Unitedlinux
1.0
Service
Pack
3
for
IPF
installed
on
the
operating
system.
Download
and
install
the
service
pack,
when
it
is
available.
Workaround:
Type
the
following
command:
hdalun=0
hdblun=0
To
issue
the
command
on
every
restart,
edit
the
elilo.conf
file
and
add
the
boot
option
to
the
stanza
for
the
kernel
you
are
booting.
For
example:
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=803
initrd=/initrd
append="hda=ide-scsi
hdalun=0
hdblun=0"
