Sorry, but the information we miss in systemconfigurator is the list of devices and the order in which they are seen by the BIOS. As Mark says, the older grub version is uncapable to detect the cciss devices (whatever those are, I don't know them). So the only source of information for SC is not working in this case. If you have another idea how to get this list...? Hardcoding an SC version for cciss devices is not a solution, but I thing that's obvious. We can do two things: - if a device map exists and contains cciss devices and the grub detected device map doesn't: use the old device map - put the special device map into host specific overrides if you have inhomogeneous clusters. I'm afraid the overrides are image-specific, aren't they? :-( Regards, Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
