Are you sure there /is/ a /dev/sda? If it’s an HP, try "cciss/c0d0".

I'm trying to specify --ondisk=sda and cobbler keeps giving me an error saying bad keyword '/dev/sda' Any suggestions?

It gets a bit more interesting when you start merging roles so keeping each of the tags as atomic as possible is useful. But I have had to do this when doing bake offs with different raid configurations in the past and it works well. James -- Sent from my phone.
