I am trying to take a make recovery tape created on an RP8400 and load it on an RP4440. After the tape loads I get the following panic: System Panic: linkstamp: Mon Sep 11 14:05:57 EDT 2006 _release_version: @(#) $Revision: vmunix: vw: -proj selectors: CUPI80_BL2000_1108 -c 'Vw for CUPI80_BL2000_1108 build' -- cupi80_bl2000_1108 'CUPI80_BL2000_1108' Wed Nov 8 19:24:56 PST 2000 $ panic: all VFS_MOUNTROOTs failed: NEED DRIVERS ?????

Hello Cary,

What version of Ignite are you using?

Did you restore with the advanced option "restore to different hardware platform"?

Regards,
Robert-Jan

check what kind of I/O interface cards are installed in your RP4440, some cards need extra software (drivers). It is also possible you have a 11iV2 unsupported card in your RP4440, like A4800A, A5159A and A5159B scsi cards.

Hi Cary,

check Document ID: A5157794 in the Tech Base. According to that you have a bad disk.

"VFS_MOUNTROOTs failed: NEED DRIVERS ?????" is a classic error when there is an invalid driver which is common when cloning systems with Ignite.

The only cards in this RP4440 are AB352-60001 1000Base-T Dual-Port Lan, A6961-60011 Ultra320 SCSI, and 3 x A6795A Fibre cards. Could any of these cause this problem. I have the same A6795A fibre cards in the RP8400 that the makerecovery tape was created on so I would not think it was that.

It turned out to be the driver for the Ultra SCSI 360 card that was missing. Once that driver was added the server booted up fine. Thanks for your help.
