cpqfc drives are being found as first scsi devices(/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). This can mislead the user to select cpqfc drive as a boot device while fibre channel can not be a boot device. Fibre channel drives should be last scsi devices. System: ML530 (2P) controllers: Embedded SCSI, adaptec scsi controller(slot 6), Compaq fibre channel controller(slot 7). OS: RH Roswell Beta3 Steps to reproduce: 1. Start installation using CD 2. Choose GUI installation 3. DiskDruid shows 2 cpqfc logical volumes as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
We need to work with Comapq to discover an interface to find out the order that the BIOS will be accessing drives to boot from.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
What about having the cpqfc driver on the CD, but NOT loading it during install? Afterwords the driver can be loaded last, be putting it last in the modules.conf file. The problem is that this is NOT a bootable controller and lilo requires you to use sda as your bootable controller.
lilo does not require you to use sda as your bootable controller. for lilo: disk=/dev/sdi bios=0x80 (make sdi your boot drive) for grub: edit /boot/grub/device.map change: (hd0) /dev/sda to (hd0) /dev/sdi
Boot order manually changable for Hampton
