Description of Problem: On a Dell PowerEdge server with an onboard Adaptec SCSI adapter and a Symbios add-on SCSI adapter, the Symbios is identified as the primary and the Adaptec as the secondary, both during installation and afterward. This causes a disk on the external bus, from which the system cannot be made to boot, to be assigned as /dev/sda, and the boot loader is installed there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: On this system, 100%. However I realise that this is highly dependent on hardware configuration. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
This is dependant on the order the modules are loaded. The boot volume identification can be done by EDID and that facility is in various development kernels. Turning this into an RFE
