From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I am installing RHEL3 on completely unconfigured HP DL series (560 G2 & 380 G3's) with CCISS h/w raid cards. I would like to configure these devices in %pre with the command line utility that HP provides; however, I run into 2 obstacles that prevent an un-interrupted installation (I will open the other obstacle in a seperate RFE): Before anaconda is launched, loader tells me: "No hard drives have been found. You probably need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed. Would you like to select drivers now?" This is part of the checkForHardDrives function in loader.c. Obviously no hard drives have been found because none have been configured yet. How about a parameter that can be passed to isolinux/syslinux/etc, such as "noprobehdd", so this message can be avoided? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.1.1-7.RHEL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a HP server with an unconfigured CCISS array 2. Start the RHEL installer. 3. Watch the error.
