Description Wendy Hung 2001-10-10 15:25:54 UTC 
How Reproducible:
Every time

Three diff't setups and their actual results:

1.   Installing to on-board Adaptec with unconfigured ServeRaid in slot.
Actual Results: 
System hangs after loading aic7xxx & ips drivers.

2. Installing to ServeRaid controller using Disk Druid
Actual Results: 
Long delay in Disk Druid screen.
At Installing Packages screen, errors occurred:
"The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /tmp/sda (No such 
device).  This means Linux knows nothing about any modification you made.  
You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /tmp/sda." 
(Clicked Ignore)

"An error occurred trying to initialize swap on device sda3.  This problem 
is serious, and the install cannot continue." (Clicked Ok)

Installer ejected CDROM and took a long time to reboot

3.  Installing to ServeRaid controller using Automatic Partitioning
Long delay observed.
Unhandled exception occurred.  See attachment.


Expected Results:  Successful installation.


Additional Information:  These setups were successful with Fairfax.

Comment 2 Wendy Hung 2001-10-11 13:17:53 UTC 
Installation to Adaptec controller and adding ServeRAID after is successful so 
the ips driver appears to be working.  Possible bug with installer.
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2002-01-15 20:05:30 UTC 
Is this on a 440GX based motherboard?
Comment 4 Wendy Hung 2002-01-16 16:03:19 UTC 
No, not the same issue as with the 440GX based motherboards.  IBM xSeries 
systems were used.
Comment 5 Wendy Hung 2002-02-06 18:57:08 UTC 
Fixed in Advanced Server Beta 1.
