In my upgrade attempt from 2.2.6 (via 2.2.8) to 3.0.x, I managed to compile and tried rebooting the new kernel, but I forgot to make new scsi da devices and change /etc/fstab accordingly. Naturally, I could not boot the new kernel as my machine has only scsi disks which were not accessible via da drivers. After a number of attempts, I was able to boot older kernel (2.2.6) via floppy boot and CDROM fixit option and mount all partitions of my dangerously dedicated scsi disk. Proc pseudo-filesystem would not mount, so I did not get to mulituser level, but I could change anything on the disk. I tried making da devices by executing MAKEDEV in /usr/src/... tree (not in /dev/MAKEDEV) with da targets (i.e. (cd /dev; sh /usr/src/..../MAKEDEV da0 da1 da2 da3) ), but it did not work. mknod apparently did not find da drivers complaining no such driver or something like that. Do I have to have the 3.0.x kernel running for this to work? Is there a workaround with 2.2.6 kernel still? tnx.
