installing Debian Etch on IBM blade
Hello,
I'm installing Debian Etch on HS20 IBM blade. I use etch network installer.
IBM blade:
- SCSI storage controller (RAID1)
- USB floppy
- USB CD
- Fibre channel adapter
- ...
I have problems with detection of RAID1, during install process RAID1
is mapped as /dev/sdb, and, after install RAID1 is mapped as /dev/sda,
so grub and fstab configuration is wrong.
I detall install process:
1.- Start installer: install netcfg/disable_dhcp=true
2.- Inspect on choose language step.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8082N Rev: 0L03
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: Teac Model: FD-05PUB Rev: 3200
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
(scsi raid1 isn't present)
3.- Inspect after hardware detection:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVD-ROM GDR8082N Rev: 0L03
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: Teac Model: FD-05PUB Rev: 3200
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: LSILOGIC Model: 1030 IM Rev: 1000
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
(scsi raid1 is present on scsi2)
4.- In partition step, RAID1 appears like sdb.
Installation ends ok, and install system on /dev/sdb.
When system boot for first time, grub load kernel and boot, but fails
on load root file system because scsi raid1 on /dev/sdb (during
installation) now is mapped on /dev/sda.
Console messages:
...
Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Being: Running /scripts/local-top ...
Done.
Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
Done.
ALERT! /dev/sdb1 does not exist Dropping to a shell! <<< NOW IS /dev/sda1

... (more scsi devices)
Some idea?
What can I do?
Thanks in advance,
pere
