Public bug reported: On Ubuntu server *only* the Ubuntu installer needs to automatically determine if the system being installed is a Dell "PowerEdge" server and if so, biosdevname gets enabled by default. If not, biosdevname is not used. One option is to use 'dmidecode -s system-product-name' to detect this.
Additionally, there should be a manual bypass of biosdevname by passing biodevname=0 to the boot prompt. ** Affects: biosdevname (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) Status: New ** Changed in: biosdevname (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) ** Changed in: biosdevname (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-12.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891258 Title: Biosdevname auto enabled on Dell HW To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biosdevname/+bug/891258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
