Description Bryan Leopard 2001-08-06 18:04:54 EDT

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When doing an installation with a Ultra 3 Dual 
Channel Wide SCSI card, the installation halts and posts the following 
error message to the screen: "Loop disk labels do not support extended 
partitions."  After receiving this error, the installation can no longer 
continue. 	

SUGGESTED PRIORITY: 1

Server: ML350
ROM Date: 7/27/01
OS: RedHat 7.2 Beta 3 Roswell
SCSI Controller: Ultra 3 Dual Channel Wide, Internal, Port 1 

IS PROBLEM REPRODUCIBLE: yes 

STEPS TO CREATE THE PROBLEM:
1.  Start a new installation with a SCSI card installed.  Attach the 
internal SCSI cable to port 1 on the card.  Use at least two hard drives.
2.  On one hard drive, setup with the following configuration:
	a.  /boot - 100MB
	b.  /swap - 300MB
	c.  /  - Rest of HD 
3.  On the other HD, setup with the following:
	a.  /hd01 - All
4.  Once you select OK on the second HD partition, the "loop disk label" 
error will occur.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax

Comment 3 Matt Wilson 2001-08-06 19:17:31 EDT

is this reproducible?  Please dd if=/dev/sdaX of=bs-sdaX count=1 bs=512 for each
drive and send it in.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2001-08-14 15:46:58 EDT

Is it possible that a raw device (like /dev/sda) was ever made a filesystem, like:

mke2fs /dev/sda  ?

I've seen this happen before.

Comment 5 Bryan Leopard 2001-08-16 11:39:42 EDT

This can be closed.  It turned out to be a hardware issue.
