What is your problem with mkfs? When I use the 'automatically partition' feature, all the filesystems seem to get created fine.
I don't know anything about LVM, but I will take your word for it that it doesn't work.
In my understanding, GRUB won't work until the kernel gets installed and works. The kernel isn't getting installed because, I think, mkinitrd can't create the initrd.gz image because it can't figure out the weird /dev/... scheme.
I have problems with DHCP also, though I think it is unrelated to CCISS (a scsi device) and probably more related to the broadcom ethernet card. I have found that if you continue to re-try dhcp, it will eventually work. Why it takes so long is unknown to me.
Please let me know if you experience further success!
good luck, Erik

Thank you for this information, but I think this is only a small subset of the solution about system equipped with the CCISS controller.

I spent two days testing with this machine and I think that d-i is absolutely *not* ready for such a machine:
1. the installer cannot mkfs the partitions 2. the LVM is still not working 3. grub doesn't work on this device 4. the DHCP isn't working correctly
Bye, Giuseppe
