Recap: having problems when 2 disks are installed in a Dell PowerEdge
R610 which features a Dell SAS 6 HBA (in actuality an LSI SAS1068E-IR HBA).
If I take one disk out, I can install and run 13.10 server with no
problems. As soon as I put the second disk back in the machine, it
refuses to boot; i.e. I don't get a console and the machine isn't
pingable. Even more odd, after I've tried putting the second disk in,
and then take it back out, grub 2 won't boot through anymore -- it just
hangs at the OS selection prompt. If I hit <Enter> to make it boot (and
don't bother re-inserting the second disk), the system resumes booting
through automatically.
In the absence of any suggestions, I'm going to check with Dell about a
HBA BIOS update.
