Title: Re: [Oscar-users] udev/devfs disk naming problems
Hey Gregory:
 
Actually I think I know what's wrong...  the 3.6.3 RPMs I gave you does not create the cciss devices in /dev.  You'll need to create it manually by using mknod (or you can use MAKEDEV if you know how to use it).  Google the syntax to create the special device and add it to your autoinstall script.  Put it before "Stop RAID devices before partitioning begins".  For instance, I want to create 2 sda partitions, I add the following to my autoinstall script:

# Manually create sda partitions
mknod /dev/sda5 b 8 5
mknod /dev/sda6 b 8 6
 
We're looking for a good solution to fix this, and it will be included in the release version of SystemImager 3.6.3.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

It's with the 3.6.3 you suggest to use in my last question.

The problematic script is the one trying to discover drives. It detect
correctly the raid hardware ccssi, but it doesn't use the correct
names. I also try to describes my partition using
/dev/discs/disc0/partX but it doesn't work either.
