Quoting Lars Schimmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I let it run, added root pwd, username,userpwd, deleted the apache
server, added hal, choosed grub in mbr and waited til it was done and
rebooted.
After reboot, it couldn´t mount /root, because "device not found or busy".
I tried it with UUID and with /dev/sda3 in grub....
We've debugged the problem together and found the evil root cause!
It was dmraid!
Dmraid starts an intel fakeraid because there was a valied intel
software raid metadata chunk on the disk. We suppose this comes from
some stresstesting with Windows from the vendor.
Once found this could easily be corrected.
dmraid -r /dev/sda -E
dmraid -r /dev/sdb -E
The command aborts and prints out a backtrace but netherless it
removed the metadata chunk from the disk successfully.
But after this metadata removeal grub won't boot the system anymore,
just reinstall it.
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
grub-install --root-directory /mnt/sda3 /dev/sda
And everything worked as expected.
cu,
Michael
