Public bug reported:
Machine is a 1U rack Compaq Proliant DL360. Ubuntu Server 6.10
installed just fine on it (with a few hacks during installation of
course). However, 7.10 Server will not even get past the PartEd stage
of the installation. Details:
I boot up the CD, and get as far as the partitioner. I get a warning
message: "Unable to determine geometry of file/device. You should not
use Parted unless you REALLY know what you're doing! Ignore/Cancel" I
choose 'Ignore', and am presented with options for Manual vs. Guided
partitioning. I pick Manual, then instead of seeing a list of drives or
partitions, I see "/dev/ida/c0d0 - 0B0 Compaq Smart Array". I select
that, as that's the device I want to partition, but I get the "unknown
file/device geometry" warning above.. it's one big endless loop.
Installation is impossible.
