Subject: Package boot-floppies fails to install om Compaq Smart Raid

Package:boot-floppies
Version:2.2.17 (potato2.2-2)
I tried to install Potato 2.2R2 on a Compaq 6400 server with 2 Compaw Smart
Raid controllers, one integrated (221) and one externel (4200).
Problem:
History:On potato2.2R0 the installation broke when adding a second
controller, and the system was only able to install on one of the
controllers. (this of course using the 2nd CD with the 'compact' kernel.
since CD1 doesn't recognize the Compaq SMART arraycontroller (as it
should)).
However on Potato 2.2R2 it breaks completely, Finding all SMART controllers,
but failing to create ANY dev files for them (/dev/ida/cXd0...), and of
course therefor not being able to install on any drive.
Solution:
I believe the error lies in the number of /dev-files the system is able to
create during installation (due to limits of the ramdisk?), since I was able
to custom-build a potato2.2R2 CD from my local mirror editing rescue.sh
(boot-floppies) and change the code, so that MAKEDEV did not create all of
the /dev-files it normally does (I made it only create the /dev-files I
needed to install). When I booted that custom-made CD, all /dev-files for
both of the SMART controllers was created, and I was able to install on both
SMART arraycontrollers.
Note:
When making the changes to rescue.sh, fixes that CRITICAL bug, there is a
minor bug also, when under the installation, you are asked to 'make linux
bootable direct from hard-disk':
Problem2:
I had installed my system with root on /dev/ida/c1d0p1 and wanted to install
an MBR on /dev/ida/c1d0 and the installation only allowed me to install the
MBR on /dev/ida/c0d0 OR /dev/ida/c1d0p1, both of course wrong.
Solution2:
To be able to reboot I had to install on any of them, change to a terminal,
alter lilo.conf and rerun lilo to install to the correct place. (in this
case /dev/ida/c1d0)
Some HW Info:
Compaq Proliant 6400
SMART array controller 221 with 9 Gb Raid5 /dev/ida/c1d0
SMART array controller 4200 with 200Gb Raid5 /dev/ida/c0d0
2Gb memory
4*700Mhz CPU's
Thanks

Thank you very much for your bug report. We believe the issue you
reported is solved as of boot-floppies 2.3.1. That is the woody
version of boot-floppies, which is available in the archive, or, some
SPARC and i386, at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>.
If you feel your bug is still outstanding, please let us know or
reopen your bug -- see <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/> for instructions
how to do that.
We are not longer working on Potato boot-floppies, except for critical
issues. If you feel that your bug hasn't been fixed as of
boot-floppies 2.2.22 (the latest Potato version), then you we need to
reopen your bug and put the 'potato' tag on it. Please be sparing --
the more we are distracted with Potato issues, the less effort we are
able to put into Woody boot-floppies.
Again, thanks for your report. Bug reports are a significant
contribution to Debian. We apologize that it probably took so long to
fix the issue you reported.
