Hi guys,
Has anyone tried using unattended on a Dell OptiPlex GX755 with RAID
(mirroring)? My colleague has just tried to install a PC this way, and
the following seems to happen:
* The unattended kernel boots, and recognises sda and sdb (not a
mapper device, i.e. the RAID volume)
* It installs to sda, and then reboots
* The RAID chipset then gets confused and refuses to boot past
the RAID portion of BIOS, probably because linux has mashed the RAID
volume by installing on one disk only. Sometimes I get this error:
"partition table != 55AA"
The only way to get the machine to boot after that is to remove the
disks from the RAID volume, and then re-create it.
I'm guessing the I need to add logical volume support to the kernel -
can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have any other suggestions.
I'm booting via PXE, using the ua-0.5.0 ISO image.
Thanks,
Paul
