This seems odd to me - I just setup an e-smith server with a 3ware Escalade
6410 with no problems at all. I had no ide drives other than those
connected to the raid controller, and they were blank. Booted off the CDROM
and did a standard install from scratch. Not a single problem. My
lilo.conf shows boot=/dev/sda, without any modification on my part. I for
one think the 3ware card to be the best on I've worked with, especially
since it's supported on e-smith right out of the box.

Subject: [e-smith-devinfo] 3ware naked boot: BUG
Hi, I've just been through the process of booting e-smith on
a small DELL server with a 3ware 6200 controller with mirrored
drives. It has been painful.
The server was totally clean, no OS, no IDE drives. e-smith
seems to really want to see /dev/hda since there were several
timeout/error messages. But the biggest problem/BUG was that
the lilo.conf file and the MBR were created to point at
/dev/hda instead of /dev/sda. Once I fixed that (after learning
some Linux), everything seems fine.
p.s. booted from CDROM
