I'm seeing a similar problem with kickstarting computers with compaq smartraid controllers (cpqarray). Installation works great, but when kickstarting - the installer won't find the disks to place the partition on. You have to specify --ondisk ida/c0d0 (or something like that) before the installer finds the disks. This situation also existed in rh7.1 The problem, atleast mine, has something to do with the naming of the devices, like /dev/ida/c0d0p1. This problem would also affect all others using such a scheme. The first problem is because there wasn't a size specified for the partition. I've added a little bit more diagnostic error checking to make it more clear what the problem is in this case. The second problem with smartarray controllers sounds different and should work -- could you please confirm that it doesn't work with the most recent Roswell release and if not, open a separate bug report. |
