Hi
i tried to install in a dell server, with a scsi raid card that uses
the cciss modules...
During install i got a grub install error and after that efw doesnt
work. Hand install the grub i found that grub is complaining that it cant
find the BIOS disks, do it cant create no device.map.
I hand created one with:
(hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0
and installed grub without problema and booting seens to work...
...almost...
The next problem is that it cant mount the root filesystem, and
again checking the install i found that the fstab is using bad devices:
/dev/cciss/c0d0? instead of /dev/cciss/c0d0p?
please note that this kind of devices uses the p for the
partitions (that are generated fine by udev)
i tried to fix the fstab and generate a new initrd, but still
failled to mount the rootfs.
i then tried to install again and correct during the install both
errors. i check both the grub package install to create a device.map (so
to bypass the need to rebuild a new one) and correct the fstab when it
was updated from /harddisk/root to /dev/cciss/c0d01.
the kernel install this time whithout any warning, grub
installed fine and everything works.
So there is 2 bugs in the install, the first is the bad fstab
creating, its assuning sda -> sda1 like scsi device instead of checking
what really is used (c0d0 -> c0d0p1 in this case).
the other bug is probably a grub bug as i have another dell
server that install other linux distro (suse) without any problem.
thanks for efw

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
