We have some Sun x4200 M2 servers with four disks in arranged in two RAID1
sets. These manifest as sda and sdb.
Whenever I try to install RHEL5.1 64-bit (via USB stick->HTTP kickstart) the
boxes refuse to boot after the installation has finished and I hit reboot.
Doing a manual install it appears that despite
[...]
ignoredisk --drives=sdc,sdd,sde
zerombr yes
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="console=ttyS0,9600 rhgb
quiet"
clearpart --all --drives=sda,sdb
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part swap --size=16384 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part / --fstype ext3 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part /VM-storage --fstype ext3 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb --asprimary
[...]
It looks like the bootloader is being installed into the MBR on sdb, which
is very strange. By definition the BIOS is set to boot from id0 (sda)
rather than id2 (sdb). Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to get
the installer to install the bootloader in the MBR of sda, please?
