Description of problem:Unhandled exception loading OS


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure san environment
2.Load OS
3.
    
Actual results:
Bug check when searching for drives

Expected results:
see all available drives to load OS

Additional info:
Trying to install Advance Server 2.1 to a HP RX2600 I receive an âunhandled 
exceptionâ bug check when attempting to select the a partition to load the OS 
to.   I have about 100 lunâs in a san environment, with topologies of public 
loop, private loop, point to point, and fabric.  If I only connect 1 target 
through one topology I do not see the bug check.

Bug Check (I could not save the bug check to the floppy so I just copied the 
text)

What all devices will be existing here?  Can you hit debug on the traceback
window and enter
(pdb) print name, path
