hi!

i have an installation issue with Compaq ML 370 RAID 1 and EFW 2.3

My disks are recognized as /dev/ida/c0d0. During setup i have manually created the partitions with mknod command

mknod -m660 /dev/ida/c0d0p5 b 104 5
mknod -m660 /dev/ida/c0d0p6 b 104 6
mknod -m660 /dev/ida/c0d0p7 b 104 7

following these instructions

http://efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1026.0

but when i continue installation process, it fails

Running command: /bin/mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/ida/c0d0p5
mkfs.ext3: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size

and i can only reboot...

many thanks for help!!!

Just completed the install on a ML 570 G3 with no issues...

accepted the onboard controller. no issues.

Check the HDD's or possible hardware fault.
