Otherwise, it simply told me that there were not hard drives... Overall install: * Although the URL above is for the SID installer, when the install was complete, I noticed that LENNY had been installed. I noticed this by looking at the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Other issues that I was not particularly happy with were: 1. Selecting guided LVM allowed a the root filesystem to be placed in a logical volume (which I wanted), but then the yaboot.conf file was still writted to /etc/yaboot.conf. I had to manually rescue the system after the install and move /etc/yaboot.conf to /boot/etc/yaboot.conf. In my view LVM is going to be the way forward and this configuration file should not been located on the root filesystem. I hope everyone is aware of this issue and has looked at keeping files required to boot the system in /boot 2. After fixing the location of the yaboot.conf file, the system refused to boot. It was trying to boot the label "old" which was invalid because the kernel has not yet been upgraded. I therefore had to add the following to the yaboot.conf before the correct default entry would boot: defaultos=Linux 3. I also had issues with multipath root and LVM: 3.1 I had to add multipath to the lvm2 PREREQ's in order for multipath to be started before LVM. 3.2 Debian installer was called with: disk-detect/multipath/enable=true However, once the install had completed, the lvm.conf was not configured to filter out the underlying SCSI devices. I had to add the following filter: filter = [ "r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ] After rebuilding the initramfs (above two changes commited), it all worked quite nicely ;) -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.
