Description Issue Tracker 2002-03-12 15:08:12 UTC 
Description of Problem:

At the Boot Loader Configuration screen the boot order shown is not correct. Shown: 

/dev/cciss/c0d0 
/dev/cciss/c0d1 
/dev/cciss/c1d0 
/dev/cciss/c1d1 
/dev/ida/c0d0 

Actual controller order in RBSU: 

/dev/ida/c0d0 
/dev/cciss/c0d0 
/dev/cciss/c1d0 

It is not possible to select individual drives to boot from. You can only select
the order of the controllers. 

System: DL760 
Mem: 5GB 

Also, the locations for installing the bootloader are: 

/dev/cciss/c0d0 master boot recoord 
or 
/dev/ida/c0d0 first sector of first partition
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-03-13 19:54:31 UTC 
As I've told Compaq at least three times now for Advanced Server...

This is because the x86 does not export information on device ordering in a
consistent fashion that works on all hardware.  Will be fixed in the next major
revision of Red Hat Linux, but the changes are extremely intrusive, and thus not
being backported for Advanced Server
