Dear all,

I have a usb enclosure with 2 SATA 2TB HDD drives.
Though my mac recognizes them as two drives,
SheevaPlug(Ubuntu 9.04 SD card boot, Linux version 2.6.30.2 ([email protected]) )
recognizes only one of them.

I found the following URL, which is , I guess, related to my trouble.
http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#ts9.

How to know the flag, CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN, of the compiled kernel?
Should I recompile a kernel with the flag ON to solve this trouble?

P.S.
I have also found the message that SheevaPlug handles multiple HDDs;

Thanks,

The kernel you are using comes from sheeva.with-linux.com; discussion of these kernels is on the kernel board at the plug computer forum.

Have you tried any of the more recent kernels?

[makinok]

Thank you for your advice. I also read the forum on PlugComputing.org.

I have tried to execute ./README-2.6.35.7 --rootkernel and reboot my plug.
But the kernel is still Linux ubuntu 2.6.30.2.

The factory setting shows that uImage is loaded from /uImage.
http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,136.0.html

But there is no uImage in /.
Is uImage still loaded from NAND though rootfs is on SD?

I will see boot log with u-boot booting.

[peter a]

how and what it boots from is determined by your Uboot setting .

You will find that ./README-2.6.35. batch file will place a uImage image file in your boot dir , if your lucky which will be called sheeva-2.6.35-uImage , so you will need to rename or link it to uImage OR whatever your Uboot settings are !!!!!

Try posting your Uboot evn settings with printenv !!!

I have tried to execute ./README-2.6.35.7 --rootkernel and reboot my plug.
But the kernel is still Linux ubuntu 2.6.30.2.

The sheeva.with-linux.com scripts don't update the kernel on our SD cards. But it is easy to do manually. Boot your plug from NAND and download the uImage and modules. Insert and mount the SD card, then copy the kernel to partition #1 (as uImage) and the modules to partition #2:

Code: [Select]

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc-kernel-partition/
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/mmc-rootfs-partition/
cp sheeva-2.6.32.7-uImage /mnt/mmc-kernel-partition/uImage
tar x -C /mnt/mmc-rootfs-partition/ --overwrite -zf sheeva-2.6.32.7-Modules.tar.gz
umount /mnt/mmc-kernel-partition/
umount /mnt/mmc-rootfs-partition/

Once you know the changes are working you can remove the old modules

Code: [Select]

rm -R /mnt/mmc-rootfs-partition/lib/modules/2.6.30.2/*
rmdir  /mnt/mmc-rootfs-partition/lib/modules/2.6.30.2/

or:

Code: [Select]

rm -R /lib/modules/2.6.30.2/*
rmdir  /lib/modules/2.6.30.2/
if you are booting from SD card.

How to know the flag, CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN, of the compiled kernel?

The config file for the 2.6.30.2 kernel has this setting commented out:

Code: [Select]

#
# Some SCSI devices (e.g. CD jukebox) support multiple LUNs
#
# CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set


whereas the most recent kernel config file has is set to y:

Code: [Select]

#
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
#
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y

I haven't researched to determine exactly when it was added.

[makinok]

Code: [Select]

[email protected]:~# ls /dev/s*
/dev/sda  /dev/sg0  /dev/sndstat  /dev/stdin
/dev/sdb  /dev/sg1  /dev/stderr   /dev/stdout


Your advice enable my plug to see two HDDs as above.
The kernel is also 2.6.35.7. Thank you very much.

I was confused another plug, which boots from one partition of a USB stick.
