PLEASE RE-OPEN. This is NOT a duplicate of bug 23650. This is a makedev problem. See bug 28904. The problem is with *both* /dev/ida/ and /dev/cciss/. Only the device nodes for the first controller are being created, and we need device nodes for 8 controllers. I am also concerned that the additional device nodes may not be available during anaconda & kickstart, but I have not verified this. COMPAQ considers this a MUST-FIX for 7.1!
This problem is still not fixed in RC2-qa0322. Installer still shows only one array controller (tested with both multiple cpqarray and multiple cciss) during installation. After installation they all show up. It looks like the problem is in the installation process. If you look at the /proc file system during installation, they (all controllers) are all there.
Matt please investigate.
are you saying that both cpqarray and cciss exhibit the "sees only one controller" problem?
Yes, with multiple cciss controllers, only the first one is seen. With multiple cpqarray controllers, only the first one is seen.
fixed in CVS.
