Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 29567
Install loader cannot mount ida device
Last modified: 2005-10-31 17:00:50 EST
Scenario: Kickstart from a hard drive, using a Compaq array controller as primary boot device. (module cpqarray). Distribution files are in partition ida/c0d0p4. Launch the install from the FAT partition using loadlin . Loadlin command- line includes: ks=hd:ida/c0d0p4/ks.cfg Result: Loader fails because it cannot find ks.cfg. Observations: The log panel indicates the loader attempted to create device 'ida' instead of 'ida/c0d0p4'. The error message is: 'failed to make device ida'. Notes: No fix provided will work until the auto-probe of the array controller is also fixed (7.1 RC1 does not automatically pick up cpqarray during autoprobe). This has been tested with 7.0 (no broken autoprobe) and fails in a similar manner.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

not really a dup of 23942; I have a fix checked in to CVS and will test later today.
verified - I kicked off a ks.cfg on ida/c0d0p7 in the test lab today.
We ran a test yesterday evening. It got further, but still dies. Heres what we found: Here is the error message that dumps to the screen with an array controller (tested unit was ML 330, SA 4200) using qa0309 pass from RedHat. SCSI controller works ok. _______________________________________________________ Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/bin/anaconda.real, line 449, in ? i = string.index(driveAndType, :) File /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/string.py, line 226, in index ValueError: substring not found in string.index install exited abnormally <termination signals to screen>
what were you testing against? i've already fixed this bug.
oh, qa0309 - my fix wasn't in that test tree.
