    HP DL385 not booting

    After installing cpq_cciss-2.6.14-7.sles9.x86_64.rpm on HP DL385, the server did not boot at all. It was hanging on:

    Slot 0 HP Smart Array 6i Controller (64MB, v2.6 1 Logical Drive
    Rebooted the server manually, the server hanged on:

    Booting 'Linux' kernel hd0,1 boot vmlinuz root=6802 selinux=0 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600

    The server was also hanging on Failsafe, Linux and HP-initrd-2.6.5-7.191-smp


    So I decided to jumpstart the server with the disks installed as it was, but it was also hanging on:

    Loading kernels sles9_amd64 initrd
    Ready.

    When I installed the cpq_cciss-2.6.14-7.sles9.x86_64.rpm, the output is attached:

    Did anyone have similar issue? Do you know how to boot the HP Linux DL385 with Non-RAID as it was hanging on Slot 0 HP Smart Array 6i Controller (64MB, v2.6 1 Logical Drive.

    I really need this to be working as I was working on live network, and the services are down. Appreciate your support.

    According to the logs ther is a backup

    Created backup of /../lib/modules/2.6.5-7.191-smp/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.ko in /usr/src/HP/driver_backup/lib//../lib/modules/2.6.5-7.191-smp/kernel/drivers/block

    Try copying the backup to the working directory for this file

    /../lib/modules/2.6.5-7.191-smp/kernel/drivers/block/cciss.ko

    HP DL385 Problem

    The server is not booting, I cannot perform any commands as copy the backup file to that directory. Is there a way to access like single user mode, but even failsafe failed to boot. How can I restore it any other way?

    Do you know the commands to do it from RBSU, I can find on the internet for NIC1:

    RBSU> SET CONFIG OPTION ROM LOADING SEQUENCE 2
    RBSU> SET CONFIG NIC 1 BOOT OPTIONS 2

    I have access only through console, is there a way to reboot the server from console?

    Part of the problem is that you are running a very old version. 9.x

    Have you tried to boot into safe mode. Try typing 1 or 3 at the boot. This may not load the bad driver.

    Repair will need to be done from the command line.
