How to change raid controller driver ? (hardware change)
Hello
I'm trying to virtualize an instance of Sco Unix 5.0.5 in VirtualBox (called VM-A) , but sco I have problems set to launch with the new raid controller .
The physical machine has a raid controller adaptec (alad driver) but VirtualBox uses buslogic (blc driver)
What I'm doing is starting a Sco Unix 5.0.5 guest (called VM-B ) installed from the beginning (to use blc driver), then the second record mount as physical pc (generated with dd) .
For reference call diskB: VM-B guest disk and diskA : used by VM-A (generated with the dd command from the physical computer ).
The steps performed are:
mount /dev/rootmay /mnt/rootmay # mount diskA
mount /dev/bootmay /mnt/rootmay/stand # mount of diskA boot
chroot /mnt/rootmay /bin/sh # chroot on diskA
mkdir fd0
mount / dev/fd0 / fd0
/etc/btldinstall /fd0 # I install driver blc
edit /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi of the form:
blc Srom 0 1 0 0
blc Sdsk 0 0 0 0
These steps have made reading and collecting things in different forums , I'm not sure if they are all necessary steps are correct or if all (I have been layered to find documentation )
Like something strange , the file /etc/default/scsihas in diskA no line ' blc " BusLogic Multi Master Adapters" ' but diskB if so, what makes me assume that I'm doing things right ,
Then when I start the VM-B (primcipal diskA y secondary diskB) seems to start the kernel VM-A because I changed the name of the hostname , but will not let me login (as it starts inconsistent and buggy)
when I start the VM- A, still fails stating the eror :
WARNING : no root disk controller hd
H iinit
Panic: srmountfun - Error 19 mounting rootdev ( 1/42 )
Error 19 opening dumpdev ( 1/41 )
Dump not completed
What am I doing wrong? you can change the driver blc alad by the way I'm doing ?
Thanks for getting up here ..
