Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Test system: HP DL385 G2 with a SAS controller in slot 1 and a FC controller in
slot 5 (slot numbers according to the BIOS POST). Jaunty daily alternate CD
downloaded last night (2009-01-14)
The SAS controller has disks, the FC controller does not.
The installer runs fine up until the disk detection part. It appears
that the two CCISS controllers have come up with the FC controller
listed first (c0d0), but obviously since it lacks disks it is useless.
Partman complains about being unable to read the geometry of the disk
and presents Ignore/Cancel options. Neither is a useful route in this
case - what would be better would be an option to move on to the next
available disk (c1d0) and try that.
There should be no post-installation issues that I can think of - the BIOS will
not try to boot from an empty card and then everything from GRUB upwards should
be only caring about the UUIDs of the filesystems.
(indeed, a preseeded hardy installation does indeed boot correctly)
