/**************************************************************************/ [bugs #8900] Full Item Snapshot: URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=8900> Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: Mark Seger On: Wed 05/12/04 at 11:43 Category: Disk & Partition Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Resolution: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Mark Seger Originator Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Release: 0.93 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: grub-install cannot handle Compaq/HP SmartArrays and SystemConfigurator Original Submission: I'm told that the disk naming convention of ...discX/partY is common to multiple linux environments and that's why SystemConfigurator uses it even though RedHat (where I'm running) doesn't. When using SmartArray controllers, disks therefore get named something like /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 and the parsing of this fails in the convert() function, where the variable tmp_part is being determined. It's only looking for strings start contain disk/partX and this fails because there is no disk number. I've implemented a patch that remaps devices from that format back to /dev/cciss/c0d0 which in fact is what's stored in device.map. I've entered a previous bug in which I cannot allow grub to generate its own device map because it comes up without disks in it. So, the real answer is to probably address both problems together. Since not everyone has access to machines with these controllers I'll be more than happy to provice any assistence/testing as needed.
