I hope nobody else gets caught by this one. >From a mirror of Cooker on my server. I did an NFS upgrade, the announcement of RC2 asked for this specifically. At the end of the upgrade I was surprised to find no change to the system. I repeated the exercise but this time chose an expert install. Rebooted and again no change at all, my original 8.2 was there in all its glory.
The major problem was that now I had 9.0 nicely installed on /dev/hde. The machine concerned is an ASUS A7V333 with a Promise raid controller. IDE0 has an 80Mb HD as /dev/hda, IDE1 a CD as /dev/hdc, IDE2 80Mb as /dev/hde and IDE3 80mb as /dev/hdg. The install program shows the hda, hdc and hde as normal disks, giving no clue as to what is going to happen. When I ran through the process again it is clear what the problem is, the install kernel reports 80Mb disks on hda,hdc and hde with the CD on hdg, it has transposed the Promise and onboard controllers. When the system is rebooted everything returns to normal and is booted of the real hda. -- Dave Cotton
