Hi All, I'm looking for some feedback on a possible change to hw-detect with regard to driver disk detection.
Currently, the driver-injection-disk script only looks for a usb-partition device with an OEMDRV label. This works great on Dell 12G PowerEdge servers that supply drivers via the Life Cycle Controller or if someone plugs in a USB stick with an OEMDRV label. However, if someone wishes to use the HP-iLO to make their driver disks available, the installer will overlook the device because it is presented as a whole disk, not a usb-partition. The change to hw-detect will look at both the 'disk' and 'usb-partition' devices for the presence of an OEMDRV-labeled storage device and then act accordingly. I have a bzr branch attached to the bug that seems to so far work in testing with both a Dell 12G server and an HP server that uses the iLO to present the driver disk to the installer. Please have a look and let me know if this will work or if there's a different / better way to do this.
