Hi everybody

I installed Vicibox 3.1 64bit on a Dell poweredge 6800, with 2 Xeon processors 64bit, 8Gb in RAM, and 4 hard drives SCSI, in RAID.

Everything is ok when the installation is finished. But when I reboot the system, wow:

Code: Select all

Boot logging starded on /dev/tty1(/dev/console)
resume device not found (ignoring)
Waiting for device /dev/sda1 to appear:..........................................could not find /dev/sda1.
Want me to fall back to /dev/sda1? (y/n)


Happens after execute this:

Code: Select all

#zypper refresh && zypper up
#reboot


Ok, Because this is optional I try to obviate. And again it is the same error when rebooting.

Here are some facts:

Disk partitions:

Code: Select all

thanks and I hope your valuable help

it might be some raiddrivers that gives you trouble.
Have you tried a reinstall?

You could search for solution on opensuse forums providing your raid-data.

Turn off RAID and use a stock HD setup instead. If that fixes it, you'll need to wait until the RAID drivers are added the base OpenSuSE or investigate having someone install them for you.

Also: You did not mention your actual version, there is no "3.1", there is, however, "3.1.XX" .. and the question is whether you are using the latest .iso (3.1.13? 14? Dunno, haven't looked today) which will have the most recent drivers added from the SuSE Studio .iso creator by Kumba.

I just switched from to GoAutodial to Vicibox at the recommendation of somebody who shall remain nameless, and had the same problem on my Dell PowerEdge 2850. Strange thing is, it worked fine at my office, then decided to stop working at my customer site. So I brought the system back to my office, reinstalled, and had the problem as soon as I rebooted. So now, I'm reinstalling GoAutodial in hopes that I can resolve the "8168 not working" problem by some other means than moving to Vicibox. Grrrr.

which version of Vicibox?
