From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Firefox/1.0.7 (Debian package 1.0.7-1)

Description of problem:
A server with fiber-hba (driver lpfc) and hardware-raid (driver cciss) get booted by a kickstart-cd (RHEL3u6) and get installed. The drivers are loaded in that order, via lpfc san-storage gets detected and available as /dev/sda, then the hardware-raid is found.
ks.cfg has 'part / --fstype ext3 --size=1500 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 --asprimary' and the system gets installed onto the internal disks, however the bootsector gets written to /dev/sda . After reboot system fails in starting the bootloader.
Usage of lilo or grub makes no difference.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot system from kickstart-cd
2.complete networkinstallation
3.reboot system
  

Actual Results:  After reboot system fails in starting the bootloader. System prints the values of cpu-registers and freezes.

Expected Results:  Start of bootloader.

Additional info:

Workaround:
Configure ks.cfg to use lilo and 'interactive, run installation as usual.
When system is installed and waits for the user to hit return for the final reboot change to console2 (<ALT>+<F2>) and:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
vi etc/lilo.conf # and change '/dev/sda' into '/dev/cciss/c0d0'
sbin/lilo # write correct bootblock

reboot.
