RE: [cobalt-users] 550 resynchronization/reboot loop

["Manny Tau" <mtau@xxxxxxx>]

No more fruitloops!

Thank you Richard!

You solution worked out great!
After doing a reboot via ROM, and RAID resync'd, I followed your directions
and everything went smoothly after /sbin/reboot. No further RAID resync'ing.

Then, powered down, and crossing my fingers, rebooted normally, and all came
online with no resync'ing.

Went through a total of 9 reboots (via ROM and normally) and RAID resync's
just to make sure it wasn't just hardware or a confused software RAID and
the messed up resync's ... yep, seemed like the kernel patch was the
culprit.

Question: How far back is this rollback? Is it just before the problematic
All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C7_V-1-3.pkg? Or further back than that?

Again, thnx!
Manny

/sbin/reboot

After it rebooted, it started the sync again and told me that the 2nd
drive was dead. I rebooted again via the GUI and it started syncing from
about 80% and has been fine ever since. It has also taken all of the
updates since then.
