Can someone please give me some tips as i need to install Arch on my Compaq Proliant server.
I know i need the cpqarray , tlan , sym53c8xx_2 , sd_mod , scsi_mod
But i still cant see the dev files for ida blah blah so Arch cant see my drive.
I have the raid setup as mirroring ( Raid 1 ) on 3 * 9Gb scsi drives.
If you have installed Arch on one of these servers can you help me out. I will be using the 0.7.1 noodle cd.

I installed Arch i586 on my ProLiant 1500R. When I modprobed cpqarray and tlan, I was good to go. I had to compile a kernel for it on a different machine and copy it over tho, but that was an installer issue.
What does dmesg say after you modprobe cpqarray?
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk I have a workstation.

What do you mean you had to compile another kernel then copy it over.
Does that mean the Noodle cd installer wont work.
I'm away to modprobe cpqarray and tlan again and i'll tell you what dmesg says.
Thanks....

Well after doing dmesg i get :
Compaq SMART driver (v 2.6.0)
Drives found ida0 (Smart-2/p)
ida / c0d0 : p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 >
And also details for my tlan.
So it see the drives but there are still no ida files in my /dev dir.
Please help me i need Arch on my server not Trustix .....

Paste the output of

The output from cat /proc/partitions is using the Arch installer cd :
Major Minor Blocks Name
72 0 8882160 ida/c0d0
72 1 53040 ida/codop1
72 2 8009040 ida/codop2
72 3 36704 ida/codop3
72 4 1 ida/codop4
72 5 783344 ida/codop5
Thanks in advance Fubar.........

Thanks Fubar i've cracked it.
Now you've helped me with cat /proc/partitions i realised all i had to do was create the device files by:
in /dev
mkdir ida
then mknod for all the partitions
After that i just mount the relevant mount points and hey presto im in and i can install ArchLinux.
Thanks for all your help and i hope this maybe helps others too.

One more question :
When i have mounted my raid array and installed Arch onto and setup fstab etc and so on also my modules etc.
When i reboot will the Arch kernel create the /dev/ida/c0d0p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 etc and mount this array?
Or is there something else im going to have to do ?

I have found a problem in the Arch setup script.
When the find discs routine runs there is no provision to look for arrarys.
I added the id into the code along with hd and sd
But if i look in /blocks/sys the array is listed as ida!c0d0
So when the setup script is run it messes up the names they end up like :
ida!c0d0p1
ida!c0d0p2
etc
So some code needs to be added to remove the !
Hope someone can help then we can get support for Compaq proliants in the installer.

Wow dude, that's very strange! I'll turn on my ProLiant tonight to see how it handles the cpqarray-devices. I didn't have to do those hacks to get it working. I used the i586 install CD tho, which is based on Arch 0.6 or perhaps even 0.7. Which one are you using?

I'm using 0.7.1 Noodle.
I have rewritten the finddiscs routine in the setup script to locate these arrays.
Here the modified routine.
cd /sys/block
for dev in `ls | egrep '^hd|^sd|^id'`; do
if [ "`cat $dev/removable`" = "0" ]; then
echo "/dev/$dev"
[ "$1" ] && echo $1
fi
done
s=$dev
j=`echo $dev | cut -c 1-2`
if [ "$j" = "id" ]; then
m=`echo $dev | cut -c 5-8`
j=`echo $dev | cut -c 1-3`
dev="$j/$m"
else
dev=`echo $s`
fi
Going to test it on Wednesday but after intial tests using a fake /sys/block with certain files in it seems to work fine so it should see my array....
I've submitted it to Judd too , so i'll let you know when ive burnt a new iso with the modified initrd.img.

Your right Fubar 0.6 finds the drives no bother.
Now whats changed from 0.6 to 0.7.1 ?
Is it the devfs removal ?

Fubar can you help me get Arch onto my compaq proliant 1600/300 please.
I can get Arch onto it but i cannot get grub onto my /boot partition.
When i reboot i get missing operating system.
The other message ive had on previous attempts is a kernel panic because it just doesnt see my cpqarray ( Smart2 ) .
I can manually load the module and mount my devices then install Arch but i just cant get grub on and then it wont boot up.
I think this is due to the kernel not seeing the array though.
If you can email me justin AT smithies DOT me DOT uk that would be a great and would help me speed up getting Arch onto my server.
Thanks in advance

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been around on the forums lately.
I haven't been able to get Grub working on it either, so I switched to lilo and everything was peachy. Have you tried lilo yet?
