Version: 2.2r2 "compact"
When installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r2 onto a Compaq ProLiant DL380 server
I stumbled across a slight problem; the device file entries for the Compaq
Smart2 RAID controller do not exist on the root disk.
I created the root disk in question by using rawrite2 on the root.bin file
in the "compact" directory on the Potato 2.2r2 cd.
The devices in question are /dev/ida/*
Obviously, the problem causes the system to think it has no hard disks, thus
preventing the user from installing the OS.
Creating the device file entries manually corrected the problem and allowed
me to install the OS without any further problems.
The actual OS installation *did* create the device file entries on the
hard disk itself.
Suggested fix: include the /dev/ida/* device files on the root disk.
Here's the script to do it:
<-- cut here -->
#!/bin/sh
minor=3D0
for unit in 0 1 2
do
typeset -i major=3D$unit+72
for ld in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
do
mknod /dev/ida/c${unit}d${ld} b $major $minor $disk
typeset -i minor=3D$minor+1
for part in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
do
mknod /dev/ida/c${unit}d${ld}p$part b $major $minor $disk
typeset -i minor=3D$minor+1
done
done
done
<-- cut here -->
If you need any additional info, don't hesitate to mail me.

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.
