This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 and Red Hat does not plan to fix this issue the currently developed update. Contact your manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug. I think adding an option in the UI to remove the SCSI controller is too invasive of a change at this point. There is already another bug about hiding the SCSI option which should prevent people from getting into this situation. I'm okay with recommending that people who have already got a messed up config need to go to the command line to fix it. Closing this as WONTFIX for RHEL5 |
